McDonald's Children's Charities
donates to the Happy Hill Farm
Although it has 500 acres, tz
horses, 75 head of cattle, 50 sheep,
250 chickens, and various other ani-
mals, Happy Hill Farm is not what
you might expect.
Happy Hill Farm Academy/
Home, 12 miles south of Granbury,
serves as school, home, and voca-
tional training area for 75 children,
ages 5-17, grades kindergarten
through 12. Most stay at this residen-
tial treatment center because they
are unable to live and study in more
traditional family and community set-
tings for a variety of reasons, usually
severe personal or family trauma.
> As a gift to these students, Ronald
McDonald Children's Charities an-
nounces a donation of $15,000 for
purchase of referehce books, peri-
odicals, and audio-visual materials
for the Happy Hill Farm library.
"Wow," 12-year-old Preston, a
student, says about the grant. "Now
we can have some new, up-to-date
World Books for our science class."
Equally excited as Preston,
Executive Director Ed Shipman said
the Ronald McDonald Children's
Charities grant will fill a specific
need for the fully-accredited private
school.
"Education is the most impor-
tant part of treatment," the co-founder
of the academy says. "In every good
school the library is an important
area, and especially audio-visual
material today."
Charles Rebstock, owner/opera-
tor of several McDonald':; in
Granbury, Cleburne, Burleson, and
other surrounding cities, assisted
Shipman and Happy Hill Farm in
receiving the funding.
"Happy Hill Farm is a unique
residential treatment center in the
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, which .
serves children in need of a special
academic setting in order to realize
their potential," Rebstock says. "We
feel this center is a most-deserving,
worthwhile cause."
Fees for the licensed school's
services are determined on a sliding
scale, dependent upon the family's
income. Shipman said although
families often do not have enough
money to pay for their child's treat-
ment, Happy Hill accepts children
regardless of ability to pay.
"Because we're funded entirely
from the private sector, we find cor-
porations and folks like McDonald's
to help us," he says.
Since Shipman began the treat-
ment center 16 years ago, Happy Hill
has helped more than 1,000 children
from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro-
plex.
Ronald McDonald Children's
Charities is becoming the nation's
foremost children's philanthropy.
Established in 1984 in memory of
McDonald's Corporation founder Ray
A. Kroc, RMCC has awarded more
than $22 million to 600 organiza-
tions, benefitting young people in the
areas of health care and medical re-
search; education and the arts; and
civic and social service programs.
