ASHLEY PARTNERS WITH RONALD McDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES NEW YORK METRO TO SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH SICK CHILDREN

Furniture Donation to local emergency shelters as part of Summer Campaign launch

In partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro, Ashley has donated over $16,000 in summer-inspired furniture and accessories to a local NYC-based temporary housing organization for pediatric cancer patients. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) New York Metro is a non-profit located in New Hyde Park, serving the New York Metro community and beyond, recognized for over 35 years providing temporary housing for pediatric cancer patients along with their families. The House can accommodate 42 families. This organization operates solely on donations and ensures that they provide a "home away from home."

"We are so grateful for the tremendous generosity shown by our friends at Ashley. After a long day at the hospital, a comfortable environment makes all the difference for our resident families," said Matt Campo, CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro.

On June 14th, as the warm sun-filled days have arrived, Ashley celebrated the beginning of summer with their "Summer Runs Wild", event in New York City. Guests were invited to a private terrace in Midtown between the city lights and skyscrapers for a summer-inspired mixology experience, furnished with Ashley furniture and accessories, inspiring guests to reimagine their favorite spaces with refreshed and re-energized looks. All the furniture and accessories that were featured in the event were donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro.

"It is a privilege for Ashley to be able to partner with Ronald McDonald House Charities New York Metro and donate our product to such an amazing facility that is aiding the local New York community and keeping families together while their children are undergoing medical treatment. Ashley's mission is to inspire the love of home, and enrich the lives of those around us, and being able to help furnish this facility will help to accomplish that," said Liz Dufresne, Manager of Experiential Marketing at Ashley. "We are confident that this furniture donation will help create a positive impact in the local New York City community."

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
