Insight and Ronald McDonald House Charities Help Tampa Families in Need
March 15 2017 - 8:30AM
Insight (NASDAQ:NSIT) has committed to sponsoring the renovation of
the former administration building of Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Tampa Bay (RMHC-TB) to repurpose it into a community
resource space. The new space will be used as both a meeting place
and training area for volunteers before they start their official
duties, whether it is cooking for families or other specialty
projects for RMHC-TB houses.
Insight team members work monthly with RMHC-TB to feed and serve
those in need. In 2016 alone, their contributions and service has
aided over 400 children and their families in the local community.
“Between providing meals and underwriting some major projects,
our friends at Insight have become a valuable partner to us,” said
Janice Davis, Executive Director and CEO of RMHC of Tampa Bay. “In
2015, for example, Insight helped renovate the dining room in the
St. Pete East House, our largest and busiest house. We are thankful
to Insight for underwriting this large effort, as the dining room
is the meeting point where our families come together after a long
day at the hospital and share emotional support with each
other.”
“As Insight gives back to the communities we work in, RMHC-TB’s
mission fits with our core value of heart where we look beyond
ourselves to dedicate time toward positive contributions to the
community. Receiving the thank you letters from the families we
served was especially rewarding,” said Mariano Dy-Liacco, Vice
President Services, U.S. at Insight. “It has been an exciting year
for both of our organizations, and I am honored to be the executive
sponsor for RMHC-TB.”
In 1980, RMHC-TB was the first Ronald McDonald house built in
Florida. In its more than 35 years of service, RMHC-TB has aided
more than 52,000 families in need of comfort and care while their
child undergoes medical treatment at a local hospital. At least
2,000 families come through the doors of RMHC-TB’s four houses
(three in St. Petersburg and one in Tampa) annually.
Insight also participates in and contributes to a variety of
charities and causes in Tampa, including Angels of Tampa, Feeding
Tampa Bay, All Children’s Hospital, Food Drive for the Troops, the
Humane Society Food/Blanket Collection and the Central Florida
Strollathon. Aligning with the core value of ‘Heart,’ these
philanthropic efforts are part of Insight’s North American
community outreach program, Reach, in which Insight
supports organizations that provide technology-driven educational
opportunities for children. Insight’s community service was
recently recognized by Dell in its Dell EMC - Philanthropic Partner
of the Year award.
