"I am grateful to the American Water Charitable Foundation for its ongoing support of American Water employees and communities," said Rachael Horvath, Sr. GIS Specialist, Pennsylvania American Water. "I am proud to work for a company who values its employees, and the causes that are important to us. This year I was honored to use my AWCF Reward dollars to support the Scranton Ronald McDonald House, helping provide a comforting place to stay for families with seriously ill or injured children in local medical facilities. While my own daughter was in the NICU, I met several families who were staying at the House while their newborns received care."
