For the fifth year in a row, volunteers from Triumph Construction Corp. donated their time, love, and enthusiasm to create a very special night for families who have a child undergoing cancer treatment in a New York area hospital.  As in year’s past, the Triumph crew took over the outdoor terrace at Ronald McDonald House New York and transformed it into a place of joy, complete with decorations, great food, music, and even dancing.

“We always come up with a different theme,” explains Triumph’s Shirley Jacobs, who plans and oversees every detail.  “This year’s theme was ‘Italian Feast’ but we’ve done luaus, hoedowns, circus themes — you name it.  The kids love it and so do their parents.  It’s a chance for them to relax and have fun…even if it’s just for a few hours.  That kind of break can go a long way and is definitely appreciated.”

Shirley was introduced to Ronald McDonald House through Children’s Happy Faces Foundation, which raises money for Ronald McDonald House.  When she learned that Ronald McDonald House provides temporary lodging and care for families while their child battles cancer, she brought it to the attention of Triumph Construction President Carlo Cuzzi and the company has been a steadfast supporter ever since.

“What makes our annual dinners at Ronald McDonald House so great,” says Shirley, “is seeing this group of guys come back year after year to help make this happen.  Triumph has a lot of heart and I’m proud of the difference we make.”
