Ryland Homes Contributes $10,000 to MUSC Children's Hospital

MUSC Children's Hospital Fund
January 24, 2007
The Charleston area division of Ryland Homes recently donated $10,000 to Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Children's Hospital.
Nationally, Ryland Homes Corporate Headquarters distributed funds to each of their regional offices to make a choice donation to a local non-profit which their employees agreed upon. Their local office in Charleston, which has seventy-seven employees including executives, staff, builders, and subcontractors, researched several local charities to give the donation to and concluded that MUSC Children's Hospital was the best fit. As Ryland Homes continues their growth in the Charleston area with ten developments and two in Myrtle Beach, they felt MUSC Children's Hospital best serves their expanding communities and employees who are also Charleston-area residents.
With headquarters in Southern California, Ryland Homes is one of the nation's largest homebuilders and a leading mortgage-finance company. The Company currently operates in 31 markets across the country and has built more than 250,000 homes and financed more than 210,000 mortgages since its founding in 1967. Ryland is a Fortune 500 company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "RYL."
Division President of Ryland Homes in the Charleston Market, Don McDonough, expressed his thoughts on the choice of MUSC Children's Hospital as their selected charity, "MUSC Children's Hospital is a wonderful asset to not only the Charleston community through the care that they give to children and families, but to those all over the state. We should all feel fortunate to know that such a remarkable medical facility is in our backyards whenever we need it. Much like the growth at MUSC, Ryland Homes sees this as a great relationship to build upon and match with our future in the Charleston and Myrtle Beach markets. I think most people can appreciate what MUSC Children's Hospital is doing in the community, including Ryland employees who are also local residents."
Medical University of South Carolina Children's Hospital is South Carolina's largest and most comprehensive pediatric healthcare center in the State. This 178-bed facility is home to the State's only pediatric cardiology center, transplant center, burn center and children's research institute. The Darby Children's Research Institute is one of 15 in the country. Recently, Child magazine ranked the Children's Hospital the 28th best hospital in the country. In this same survey, the pediatric emergency department was ranked 9th in the country.
