By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 17, 2003
Boston — Boston-based Circle Furniture has donated about $20,000 in furnishings for the six Bone Marrow Transplant Recovery apartments at the Boston Ronald McDonald House.
Circle partnered with fellow manufacturers W.A. Mitchell, Lyndon Furniture, Oak Designs, Woodworks of Cataumet and Design for Living to furnish the apartments.
When they heard of the renovation, Circle owners Harold and Richard Tubman and Peggy Burns contacted the Ronald McDonald House, which provides lodging for families of children undergoing serious medical treatment.
"We didn't even have to ask twice before our manufacturer partners were jumping at the chance to pitch in. The employees even volunteered their own time to put together the pieces," said Tubman. Craftsmen at W.A. Mitchell donated all costs and time to make 24 chairs.
