(Freedom, Pa) Traffic was delayed along Route 65 Wednesday morning due to an accident that occurred near the intersection of Crows Run. The accident took place shortly after 7am. Multiple vehicles were reportedly involved. Traffic started moving as normal around 8:30am.

PITTSBURGH, PA… (April 3, 2024)…Fans of the Pittsburgh Penguins recently found a new way to cheer on the team while also supporting an amazing local charity. And it scored in a big way!

At the beginning of the NHL season, McDonald’s restaurants across the Tri-State area teamed up with the Pens for a new, limited-time promotion:  Co-branded cold soft drink insulated sleeves. Local Mickey D’s sold the sleeves for just six dollars and a portion of the proceeds benefited Ronald McDonald House Charities of Pittsburgh and Morgantown.

The grand total?  $60,000 to support families who travel to Morgantown and Pittsburgh seeking life-saving care for their children.  

RMHC provides a home away from home for those families so they can focus on their children’s recovery.

“I’m so pleased this promotion raised significant funds to underwrite the vital work RMHC is doing in this community,” said McDonald’s Owner/Operator Art Alamo.

For more information about local McDonald’s restaurants, go to the local Facebook and Instagram pages: McDonald’s of Three Rivers.
