Anago Cleaning Systems Supports Ronald McDonald House Charities

    POMPANO BEACH, FL, January 27, 2012 - Anago Cleaning Systems is pleased to support the Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) of Fort Lauderdale. The House is a temporary "home away from home" for families with seriously ill children who are being treated at local South Florida pediatric hospitals. The House provides lodging, meals and support to these families during their difficult times.

Many of these families travel far from their homes to get the best treatment for their children. The House provides their services at little or no cost to these families for extended periods of time. Their philosophy is that when a child is hospitalized, the love and support of family is as powerful as the strongest medicine prescribed. By staying at a Ronald McDonald House, parents can also better communicate with their child's medical team and focus on the health of their child, rather than worrying about grocery shopping, cleaning, or cooking meals. RMHC's Global Policy states that families are never turned away - if it's not possible to pay, the fee is waived. Today there are over 300 Ronald McDonald Houses across the world.

Anago Cleaning Systems' employees collectively donated cash and supplies for the Ronald McDonald House. The company then matched their donations. In late December, a group of Anago employees visited the House. Stacy Celestin of RMHC described the experience - "I watched a group of astonishing people spread the love in their hearts with the children and their families here at the Ronald McDonald House. We greatly appreciate all the efforts and dedication of Anago Cleaning Systems. As members of the South Florida community, they made it their mission to give back to the families residing here." For more information on how you can help Ronald McDonald House Charities, visit www.rmhc.com.

Anago Cleaning Systems is one of the Fastest Growing Franchises in the U.S., according to Entrepreneur Magazine and one of the top privately-held companies in the U.S. for 2011 according to Inc. Magazine.

Master and Unit Franchise opportunities are available across the United States and internationally. For more information, please visit us on the web at www.AnagoUSA.com.
