Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Southwest recently announced Jon Farr as their new Director of Development. The LCU graduate brings a wealth of knowledge to the position and will direct the fundraising efforts for the charity that assists the families of critically sick children.

Most recently, Jon has been the Executive Director of the American Red Cross of the South Plains. Previously, he spent twenty eight years with the Boys and Girls Clubs where he held various roles from Programs to National Leadership in that organization. He worked extensively in the South Plains, Permian Basin and New Mexico areas which qualifies him to lead the charity’s development strategy across their footprint.

“I am extremely excited to work with an organization that has a passion for helping families in times of crisis.

RMHC does a great job of keeping families together during those trying times.”
