| “Home Tweet Home was created in an effort to capture and celebrate the magic of children’s imaginations,” said Tyson Kidd, show manager for Marketplace Events, producer of the BC Home + Garden Show. “Partnering with Ronald McDonald House British Columbia on this initiative has been an amazing experience. We truly relish the opportunity to help support their deserving families.”Ronald McDonald House British Columbia provides a home-away-from-home for 2,500 families from outside Vancouver each year, so they can stay close to their children receiving care at BC Children’s Hospital. Providing this safe environment comes with an operating cost of $2.2 million each year; a $75 contribution covers the cost of one night’s stay at Ronald McDonald House British Columbia.
“We are always looking for ways to get involved in the community and bring awareness to Ronald McDonald House British Columbia,” Richard Pass, CEO of Ronald McDonald House British Columbia. “Partnering with the BC Home + Garden Show has allowed our families and children to dream, create, and most importantly, have fun.”
