Flyers Charities And Flyers Wives Help Renovate Local Family's Home

On Wednesday, Flyers Charities announced that, along with a group of Philadelphia Flyers wives, they have partnered with St. Christopher's Hospital and Michael's Way to relaunch the Building Hope for Kids initiative.

In the spirit of this initiative, Flyers Charities and Flyers wives will take on a home renovation project for the Burns family, including eight-year-old Ronda, who is currently battling leukemia. This project will help to make the family's home "a safe and comfortable environment for Ronda and her family, improving their quality of life during a challenging time."

"As part of our main pillar of supporting families impacted by cancer, the Flyers organization and Flyers Charities believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment to grow and thrive," said Blair Listino, President of Flyers Charities and Flyers Alternate Governor.

Chris McElwee, founder of Michael's Way, said, "It is always such a great feeling to see everyone come together to help a family in need and give them a helping hand during a challenging time. This project will truly be built with hope and love!"

Flyers Charities will provide financial support to Michael's Way, who oversee the construction teams, while Flyers wives will be involved in choosing the design, decor, and furnishing of the home. Throughout the entire renovation, medical professionals from St. Christopher's Hospital for Children will make sure the home is equipped to meet Ronda's needs.

"This kind of inspirational collaboration—offering resources, skills, and kindness by creating a positive change in the lives of families facing such challenging circumstances...provides not just a physical change but also emotional relief that people really care," said Robin Capecci, MSW, LSW, a St. Christopher's Oncology social worker. "It gives the family a sense of hope, peace, and comfort when they need it the most. This kindness demonstrates the impact of collective effort and the way this generosity can have long-lasting effects on people's lives."
