Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin made an unspecified donation to the Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh on Monday.
The donation will allow the organization “to fulfill its entire pantry wish list and provide games for family entertainment,” according to a news release.
“My wife, Anna, and I wanted to do something to help families in the Pittsburgh area,” Malkin said in the release. “We know it is hard for everyone right now, but we couldn’t imagine having a child hospitalized during this uncertain time. While we are comfortable in our own homes, others are relying on the generosity of others, like Ronald McDonald House to open their doors.”
The donation will also be used to aid the organization in continuing to provide daily hot meals and catering.
The Ronald McDonald House of Pittsburgh had a wish list for pantry items.
