Mikey's Way Foundation at Ronald McDonald House
06/05/2010 - By New York, NY

Mikey's Way Foundation at Ronald McDonald House

The Mikey’s Way Foundation celebrated its first “Mikey’s Way Day” at the Ronald McDonald House New York on Saturday June 5th 2010.

The foundation, known for giving away high end, hand held interactive and educational electronics, has done its giveaway days only at pediatric hospitals in the past. “This was the first of what we hope will be many Mikey Way Days between our foundation and Ronald McDonald House New York” says Les Friedman CEO and President of Mikey’s Way.

All involved had a wonderful time, as pizza and gift giving made a great combination.

Founded in 2005 by Michael “Mikey” Friedman, age 16, after his own two year battle with a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer, Mikey knew that recovery was greatly impacted by mental well-being. Using his own wish from the Make-A-Wish foundation, he bought thousands of dollars of electronic games and equipment. He then went to his local children’s hospital, where he met with each child, giving them a chance to pick whatever they wanted. From these extraordinary beginnings the “Mikey’s Way Foundation Days” were born. Tragically, Mikey lost his battle with cancer in 2008, but left behind his Foundation which assures that seriously ill children can always - in a word - escape… Mikey’s Way.
