For kids with complex medical needs, one need isn’t complex at all: clean air.
At AirBox, we are a leading provider of innovative indoor air quality solutions and are thrilled to announce our partnership with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston. As part of our latest initiative aimed at improving the health and well-being of those who need it most, we’ve outfitted the entire facility with industry-leading air purifiers. In April, our AirBox team and our AirBox NASCAR Xfinity Series Driver, Hailie Deegan, delivered the air purifiers and spent time with the current and former families staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Charleston.
Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe sanctuary and abundant resources and programs for families with children receiving medical treatment away from home. Since its inception in 1974, RMHC has grown into a global network with over 380 Houses and Family Rooms in 64 countries and regions, serving millions of families each year. RMHC provides a comfortable and supportive environment where families can stay together and focus on their child’s health.
AirBox recognized Ronald McDonald House Charities as the ideal partner due to their unwavering commitment to families’ well-being. RMHC’s compassionate mission and health-driven mindset resonate deeply with our values. The organization’s dedication to providing a comforting home away from home for families facing medical challenges aligns perfectly with AirBox’s desire to support those in need. RMHC’s understanding of the importance of clean air and a healthy environment further solidified the partnership, as our innovative air purification systems provide extensive health benefits to families staying at RMHC facilities.
‘Children that have complex medical conditions commonly have compromised immune systems, so clean air is extremely important to this very vulnerable population,’ said [RMHC of Charleston CEO Kathy ‘KP’ Papadimitriou], ‘I can’t thank AirBox enough for providing these air purifiers.’
Clean indoor air has major health benefits for everyone, especially children who suffer from complex medical needs and their family members trying to stay healthy so they can continue to visit their child during in-patient stays. Our donation responds to the growing concern over indoor air quality and its impact on those already at risk due to illness. At AirBox, we recognize the importance of providing these children and their families with a clean and healthy environment, which can significantly improve their quality of life and overall health.
‘We are thrilled to be able to contribute to the well-being of these brave children and their families,’ said [AirBox COO Meredith Teague], ‘The key link between a child’s health and the indoor air quality around them has always been prevalent to AirBox as most of us have children of our own. Our air purifiers are just a small contribution compared to what the Ronald McDonald House Charities team does for these families in their time of need. We are happy to partner with such an inspiring organization.’
Extensive research underscores the health advantages of clean air, demonstrating its ability to alleviate respiratory symptoms, asthma attacks, and various health concerns. AirBox’s provision of air purifiers to RMHC of Charleston utilizes advanced Certified HEPA filtration technology that effectively removes airborne particles and aerosols, bacteria, dust, allergens, and more, creating a safer and healthier indoor environment for those who need it most.

To highlight the partnership, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston will be featured on our sponsored #15 NASCAR Xfinity Series Ford Mustang driven by Hailie Deegan during the Darlington race on May 11th, 2024. Hailie teamed up with our AirBox team to deliver the fleet of air purifiers, as she shares the same core belief that every sick child deserves the best chance they can get at winning their race to health.
Our team is pledging to donate indoor air quality resources and solutions to at least one Ronald McDonald House per year.
