March 7 – It’s time to roll those dice
at the House Call Ball, Ronald
McDonald House of Charlotte’s
Annual Casino Night. The event
will be held at the Mercedes Benz
of South Charlotte; tickets can be
purchased online here.
This holiday season and all year long, there are
so many ways to give to others and the local Triad
McDonald’s Owner/Operators want to thank you
for all you have done to help support local children
and their families through the Ronald McDonald
House Charities of North Carolina (RMHC of NC).
Whether it’s spare change in one of our donation boxes or
purchasing a hand during our annual Give A Hand fundraiser,
your support has made a big difference for North Carolina
families through community grants, scholarships and
the local Ronald McDonald Houses and Ronald McDonald
House Family Rooms.
Another way you can give the gift of family is through
our Thanks for Giving fundraiser. From November 23 December 14, you can donate $1 at participating McDonald’s
to support RMHC of NC and the six Ronald McDonald Houses
in North Carolina, located in Chapel Hill, Charlotte, WinstonSalem, Durham and two in Greenville.
Healing starts with family, so your donations are giving those
seriously ill or injured children the best medicine of all.
