\nCommerce (ARCC) Leadership Adirondack’s
\n35th graduation class, in cooperation
\nwith the Adirondack Flames hockey
\nteam, recently completed a campaign to
\nbenefit the renovation of Amanda’s House
\nat Glens Falls Hospital.<\/p>\n

Over $50,000 was raised for the temporary
\nhome for patients and their families
\nwho have traveled a distance to be treated
\nat Glens Falls Hospital. That amount is
\ntwice the goal that was set when the class

\n$25,000 set in 2014.<\/p>\n

“Support from these organizations has
\ngreatly assisted in the reopening of Amanda’s
\nHouse,” Kevin Baxter, Amanda’s House
\nmanager, said. “Thanks to the generosity
\nof our community, we are able to provide a
\nhome away from home, when patients and
\nfamilies need it most.<\/p>\n

As part of the leadership program curriculum, each year the class selects a
\nlocal nonprofit community project to support.
\nThe 2014-2015 class chose Amanda’s
\nHouse.<\/p>\n

“Having the Flames commit to such a tremendous
\nfundraising goal brought energy
\nand excitement to this ARCC Leadership
\nproject. Seeing them propel beyond the
\ngoal to help such a great cause gives me
\nconfidence in this community we live in,”
\nStephen Porto, president of the Adirondack
\nRegional Chamber of Commerce Leadership
\nGroup, said. “What a tremendous
\neffort and outcome by everyone involved.”<\/p>\n

“Glens Falls Hospital is proud to partner
\nwith the Adirondack Flames, the
\nAdirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce
\nLeadership Group, and Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region,”
\nsaid Cindy Sherwood, vice president
\nof development at Glens Falls Hospital.
\n“On behalf of the entire GFH organization,
\nthank you for helping raise awareness of
\nand support for Amanda’s House.”<\/p>\n

The Flames received a generous contribution
\nfrom corporate partner Bare Bones
\nFurniture, who contributed six twin beds,
\nframes and box springs, and office furnishings,
\nall to be used in Amanda’s House,
\nvalued at $3,000.<\/p>\n

On “Amanda’s House Night”, held at the
\nGlens Falls Civic Center on Jan. 24, the
\nFlames raised over $1,000 towards the
\ncampaign through their 50\/50 from that
\nevening and a silent auction during the
\ngame. The team also donated one dollar
\nfrom every ticket sold through a special
\nonline campaign, for a total of $1,093 donated
\nthat evening.<\/p>\n

“The Adirondack Flames were humbled
\nby and thrilled with the generosity of
\nour friends at Bare Bones Furniture and
\nour fans throughout the Amanda’s House
\nrestoration project,” Adirondack Flames
\nPresident Brian Petrovek said.” Amanda’s
\nHouse is an essential part of Glens Falls
\nHospital that assists those traveling into
\nthe area for hospital care with lodging.
\nWe’d also like to thank Ronald McDonald
\nHouse in Albany for their generous matching
\nof $5,000 of our donation, enabling the
\noverall effort to exceed the $10,000 mark”<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Flames donated 100
\nflex tickets to the ARCC Leadership Group
\nwhich were sold at their discretion, with
\n100 percent of the proceeds going towards
\nthe project. The Leadership Group sold
\nall 100 tickets for a total of $1,400. The
\ncampaign ended with $288 from the in game
\n50\/50 raffle on Feb. 6 and $150 in additional donations made up the final
\ntotal of $5,921.<\/p>\n

The Flames also received a campaign
\nmatch from the Ronald McDonald House
\nin Albany. Ronald McDonald House agreed
\nto match $5,000 of the Flames’ donation.
\nAmanda’s House works in a similar fashion
\nto Ronald McDonald’s House.<\/p>\n

“We congratulate the Adirondack Flames
\non the success of the campaign and salute
\nall who supported their heartfelt work,”
\nJeff Yule, executive director of the Ronald
\nMcDonald House, said. “Once again,
\nthe Glens Falls community has selflessly
\nrallied in support of a wonderful cause.”<\/p>\n

Amanda’s House is located at 22 Henry
\nSt., Glens Falls, dedicated in memory of
\nAmanda Rose Cafaro, who was diagnosed
\nwith acute myelogenous leukemia at just
\nfour months old. During her struggle, the
\ncommunities in the Greater Glens Falls
\narea rallied to aid thew girl and her family.
\nAfter her death in 1998, it was suggested
\nthat a memorial be established, resulting
