McDonald’s Matches Malkin’s Donation to RMHC, Totaling $86,620

Pittsburgh Penguins alternate captain Evgeni Malkin and local McDonald’s restaurants have donated $86,620 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown as part of Malkin’s 2025-26 ‘I’m Score for Kids’ initiative.

Malkin, who scored 61 points in the 2025-26 regular season, committed to donating $710 per each of his regular-season points this season to RMHC of Pittsburgh and Morgantown, bringing his personal donation to $43,310.

Local McDonald’s restaurants matched Malkin’s donation, increasing the total contribution for the season to $86,620.

The ‘I’m Score for Kids’ initiative was launched prior to the 2022-23 season, and over the past four seasons, Malkin and local McDonald’s restaurants have donated a grand total of $370,620 to RMHC of Pittsburgh and Morgantown.

Eleanor Reigel, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown, expressed gratitude for the continued support, stating, “We are deeply grateful for the continued commitment and generosity shown through this special initiative. Having this support brings comfort and reassurance to families who are facing a difficult medical journey.”

Matt Alamo, Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s Owner/Operator, highlighted the partnership’s community impact, saying, “McDonald’s Owner-Operators in Western Pennsylvania are honored to work alongside Evgeni Malkin to make a difference for families who need a place to call home while their children receive medical care.” He added, “This partnership wouldn’t be possible without our loyal customers who support our restaurants in their local communities. Through other initiatives like Round-Up and donations from every Shamrock Shake sold, our customers continue to stand by our side in supporting our longtime partner, Ronald McDonald House.”

Ronald McDonald House Charities provides temporary housing for families who travel to get medical care for their children. When families stay at RMHC, they are steps away from their sick child, enjoy warm meals, daily essentials, and a safe environment.
