Your dedication to our mission allows us to provide a “home away from
home” for the families of seriously sick and injured children. During
this unimaginable situation we eliminate unnecessary worries, allowing
parents to stand strong for their children.
Without the House, the basic needs of many families in distress would go
unfulfilled. Simple necessities we all take for granted, like a warm meal,
a place to bathe, and a bed to sleep in, can place additional strain on
families during times of unbearable stress.
Thanks to your devotion, you offer families support 365 days a year.
Through your generosity, your hands open our doors to those in need. It is
your love our guests feel when they step into the House.
From all of us at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte, thank you.
Thank you for another year of growth. Thank you for nobly supporting our
mission.
A BRIEF HISTORY/MISSION STATEMENT
The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte opened in 2011 with a single, prevailing
Thank you for the love.
belief: healing happens together. With that ideal in mind, our House has served as
a home away from home, allowing families to stay close by the side of their sick or
injured child. With nowhere else to turn, these families rely on the RMH of Charlotte
to support them in their time of need.

HOPE STAYS HERE
COLE VS. CANCER
Cole and I first arrived at the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte in October of 2013.
But our journey here began many years earlier.
In 2006, Cole was diagnosed with DSRCT,
a rare form of sarcoma. He was five years
old. Local doctors believed Cole’s cancer
was inoperable, and they had little hope
he would survive. Cole endured months
of harsh inpatient chemotherapy before
a friend encouraged us to get a second
opinion from a world-renowned surgeon
in New York.
At the time, such a trip was out of reach
for us. Luckily, the Ronald McDonald House
came to our rescue. Cole and I traveled to
New York City, a spark of hope lit in our
hearts. I’ll never forget this first experience
with the Ronald McDonald House’s
generosity. The home-away-from-home
they provided made it possible for us to
find a surgeon who removed 100% of
Cole’s cancer!
Unfortunately, this was just the beginning
of our battle. Cole suffered a relapse
in 2010, and back into the trenches we
went. In 2013, Cole’s oncologist came to
work at Charlotte’s Levine Cancer Center.
In November of 2013, a specialized liver
surgeon removed half of Cole’s liver and his
entire tumor. For only the second time since
he was five years old, Cole was cancer free!
Once again, our elation was short lived. Days
after returning home, Cole was hospitalized
with life threatening surgical complications.
We took an emergency medical flight back
to Charlotte, where our new friends at RMH
of Charlotte welcomed us with open arms.
Although we continue to face a rollercoaster
of medical challenges, Cole’s defiance of his
initial prognosis keeps us hopeful, and the
Ronald McDonald House supports us.
My memories of 2014 are filled with long
months spent leaning on the RMH of
Charlotte for support. Though we faced so
much uncertainty, we could always count
on the warm, homelike environment and
smiling faces of the House. The staff and
volunteers work so hard to make things
easier on our family. They always treat Cole
like a celebrity, which keeps his spirits high
when he needs it the most. We feel spoiled
by the love and dedication of those involved
with the House. Tickets to several Hornets’
games were a huge surprise! Generous
donations of tickets to any sort of event
allow Cole and I to make the most of our
precious “good days”.
Today, Cole is receiving palliative care,
fighting the cancer that returned near
the end of 2014. Although his body is too
broken to endure further treatment, we
continue to manage his health with the
help of a dedicated team at Levine Cancer
Center. Until the day I can take my son
home, the Ronald McDonald House of
Charlotte is our home, and its people are our
family. Without the RMH of Charlotte, there
is no way I could afford to be in another
state, unable to work, and still provide Cole
the care he needs.
KEEPING A FAMILIAR FACE CLOSE
COLE AND LAURA OWENS FERGUSON, MO
With the help of the House, our spark of
hope is still alive. I know this to be true
because Cole shares his with every family
we encounter. I have seen his hope create
a spark in other families. In this way, Cole
is winning his fight against cancer in more
ways than he knows.

A CHAMPION OFF THE FIELD
COACH RIVERA’S
BOWL-A-PALOOZA
For the second year, local bowlers put
their skills to the test against Panthers’
Head Coach Ron Rivera. Coach Rivera
kindly donates his time to this event, and
he doesn’t come alone. Coach brings
enough Panthers’ players for one to join
every team. Participants can get up close
and personal with the celebrities they root
for every Sunday.
Over the past two years, Coach Rivera’s
Bowl-A-Palooza contributed $132,000 to
the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte.
We are just one of many organizations who
benefit from the Rivera family’s extensive
philanthropy. When not hosting charitable
bowling contests and chasing NFL
championships, Coach Rivera and his wife,
Stephanie, also support the Humane Society
and USO. This is one outstanding family. We
are all lucky they call Charlotte “Home”.
This year, one young Panthers fan was
especially excited for his chance to meet
Coach Rivera and hang with his favorite
players. Fourteen-year old Cole, featured in
Hope Stays Here, was counting down the
days to Coach Rivera’s Bowl-A-Palooza.
Unfortunately, when the day finally came,
Cole found himself in the hospital yet again.
Unable to attend, this brave young man
was heartbroken.
Coach Ron Rivera caught wind of Cole’s
story and decided to do something about
it. The moment Bowl-A-Palooza ended,
the coach and his wife drove straight to
the hospital. It may have been the most
wonderful surprise of Cole’s life: his idol
personally coming to pay him a visit.
Any hospital stay is tough on a child, but
when we next saw Cole, he seemed to have
an extra bounce in his step. There is no
doubt he will ever forget that day, and the
time he spent chatting with Coach Rivera.
The kindness and compassion shown by the
Rivera family made a huge impact on Cole,
just as their generosity makes a huge impact
on the Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte,
and every other charity they support.

A LABOR OF LOVE
A mission as ambitious as ours takes an
enormous amount of commitment and
perseverance. Our supporters, staff, and
volunteers dedicate countless hours and
immeasurable love to supporting our
guest families. For 365 days every year,
our doors are as open as our hearts.
The figures listed here show a lot.
They tell the story of an entire year
in the Ronald McDonald House of
Charlotte. However, there is one thing
numbers and words can never convey:
our appreciation.

ARIONNA JACOBS TABOR CITY, NC
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE OF CHARLOTTE & THE SANDBOX:
LOCKING ARMS TO SERVE THE
CHARLOTTE COMMUNITY
The Sandbox is a Charlotte, North
Carolina-based nonprofit organization
serving the families of children facing
cancer and other life-altering diagnosis.
During the most tumultuous times of
their lives, The Sandbox stands tall
with families to serve their most critical
and day-to-day needs. Eliminating
even the smallest of worries allows
these families to focus on what’s most
important: believing in a favorable
outcome and the healing of their child’s
health. Though based in Charlotte,
North Carolina, The Sandbox offers
its services across the Carolinas and
to date, has served more than 3,000
families. The Sandbox and the Ronald
McDonald House of Charlotte are a
perfect match, uniting to serve families
during inexplicably trying times. The
parents of sick and injured children
have a safe and comfortable place to
stay at the Ronald McDonald House of
Charlotte, and The Sandbox provides
families with day-to-day items,
such as personal hygiene products,
household supplies, and nonperishable
food items. The story of Arionna is
a prime example of The Sandbox
and the Ronald McDonald House of
Charlotte working in unison. Recently,
Arionna’s family stayed at the Ronald
McDonald House of Charlotte while she
received treatments for cancer. After
an introduction from a hospital social
worker, The Sandbox invited Arionna
to their 2014 An Evening of Believing℠
Prom. An Evening of Believing℠ Prom
is an annual September event catering
to children, teens, and young adults
facing cancer or life altering illness.
The experience emerged straight
from a young girl’s fantasy. Arionna
was treated to a professional hair and
makeup consultation, garnished with
dazzling accessories, and bestowed
with a prom dress fit for a queen.
The extravagant fairytale continued
into the evening. An escort of police
motorcycles led Arionna’s limo to the
event. She stepped out onto a Purple
Carpet lined with paparazzi, and walked
into a magical dream. By night’s end,
The Sandbox named Arionna the
event’s Prom Queen. Most importantly,
this brave young woman enjoyed a
positivity-filled evening with loved
ones amidst her diagnosis and current
circumstances. The Ronald McDonald
House of Charlotte and The Sandbox
each believe in the best outcomes
for those they honor to impact, and
together, they’re even better. Fostering
a positive and forward-thinking mind
frame enables families to better
support their child’s health journey. It is
imperative that organizations like the
Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte
and The Sandbox work together to
further serve the community. Both
organizations strongly believe that
nonprofits locking arms further
strengthens their reach and specialties
of service. There is no competition;
Rather, an understanding and respect to
best serve those most in need of help.
