«We are incredibly grateful to have this support,» said Eleanor Reigel, CEO of Ronald McDonald house Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown. «The generosity that is shared through this program brings families much-needed comfort and support when they are far from home with their sick child.»
The Ronald McDonald House is a charity that gives families a home to stay in while their children have medical care.
'I'm score for kids' developed from a phrase Malkin used while learning English and playing hockey in Pittsburgh about 10 years ago in an interview. The phrase caught fire and is still referenced to this day by fans.
In total, Malkin's campaign has raised $213,000 for the charity.
