2005 Fall - Ronald McDonald House at Stanford

Ronald McDonald House at Stanford
Spring 2007
Savanah’s family was devastated by the news, and scrambled to bring her up to
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital from their home in Bakersfield. Since arriving
in September 2006, the family has stayed at Ronald McDonald House at
Stanford while Savanah receives treatment. “The House has become our second
home,” remarks Carine. While at the House, Savanah has charmed many with
her bright smile and cheerful
personality. “Savanah’s a very
outgoing and talkative little girl.
She’s grown so much and has come
so far,” adds Carine.
hortly after her second birthday, Savanah began making frequent trips to her
mother’s room at night, complaining that her tummy ached. Her mother,
Carine, wondered if the tummy aches weren’t actually Savanah’s attempt to
gain a little extra attention. Carine did think it strange, however, that when Savanah
said her tummy hurt, she was pointing or pulling on her chest and not her “tummy.”
S
Savanah’s complaints persisted and
one night, Carine placed her hand on
Savanah’s torso and was surprised
about how hot it was, even though
Savannah did not have a fever.

Savanah’s doctor was very concerned about Savanah’s

Finally, in January 2007, chemotherapy

operated for hours to remove the

What’s
Inside
Savanah’s family has great confidence
that their little trooper will remain in
good spirits throughout the lengthy
treatment. “She is the strongest of us
all,” remarks her grandmother, Laura,
“she is our miracle baby.” Savanah and
her family look forward to returning
home to Bakersfield sometime
this summer.

I came because I wanted to give;
I stay because of all I receive.
For years our volunteer bulletin board
has carried this simple idea as its title.
Since Ronald McDonald House at Stanford first opened it’s
doors in 1979, volunteers are, and always have been the
ones who welcome the families, who call to tell the families
if there is an available room and who provide many extras,
such as soup night, scrap booking and Art from the Heart.
These acts of kindness, small when counted alone, make a
huge impact on all the families who stay at the House.
Beyond the effect the volunteers have on the families, is the
effect the volunteers have on the House itself. In 2006
Ronald McDonald House volunteers contributed over 7,000
hours of service, saving the House thousands of dollars
Winnie the Pooh Day!
It was a beautiful day here in the hundred acre woods.
To celebrate Pooh's special day the kids created their
version of teddy bears and Samantha guessed how
many teddy grahams fit in a honey pot.

What is real commitment?
Well, in addition to their regular shifts,
these volunteers regularly
“go above and beyond”
what is asked of them. They truly are
a key to the success of our House.
In addition to her regular
Thursday morning shift,
Mary volunteers on a
number of special projects such as making
sure that our families who lose their battle with
illness receive a beautiful wind chime and a very
special card. Mary also dedicates time to the
December Holiday Celebration.

Joe started out volunteering as
a single guy, continued after
getting married, and carries on
with the House through fatherhood – washing
crock pots after Soup Night every Wednesday,
checking in late arriving families, and making
himself generally indispensable to the House.
Judie works every Tuesday
morning and when given a task,
is pretty much guaranteed to
produce accurate, timely and reliable results.
Judie has also served as the House photographer
chronicling many events over the years.

committee at one time or another. In addition
to her Monday afternoon shift, Cindy heads up
our Program Committee and is a tireless
advocate for our families, bringing her heart
and soul to every issue.
For many of our families Zoe is
the friendly and gentle telephone
voice of Ronald McDonald House,
informing them whether or not they have a
room, then arranging for hotel reservations
when we do not. Zoe handles every call
like she is talking to her family.

(Computer Learning for Ill Kids),

semi-retirement by serving weekly as a CLIK
Room volunteer. Mary also updates the CLIK
web page and ensures we have current photos of
the families to share with web site visitors.
Mary has a warm, welcoming smile for everyone
who walks in to visit.
There is no substitute for Kay!
Kay makes sure that the
December Holiday Celebration is
a smash hit every year. Going on 20+ years,
Kay assembles a team that takes over the House
as they provide our families with a celebration
which helps them feel not so far from home.
During her regular shift on Thursdays, Kay also
drives the House van to Safeway, where our families are able to shop for groceries. Kay’s commitment to the House is evident in every word
and action … which is why there is no substitute!
That’s real commitment! Where would we be without them?

Celebrating 20 Years of Denim to Diamonds
“The best party in Silicon Valley”
The 20th anniversary of the annual “Denim
to Diamonds” benefit for Ronald McDonald
House at Stanford lived up to its tradition of
being “the best party in Silicon Valley.”
Valerie Hopple, Facility and Logistics Team
Chair, was the winner of a 1.4 carat
Hearts on Fire diamond sparkler donated
by Joseph White of Lussori.
With its “Diamonds are Forever” theme, it
certainly looked like a party James Bond
would attend.
After six months of work with a 24-member
committee and 200 event volunteers,
party co-chairs Karin Klarreich and
Debbie Mueller were thrilled the event
netted over $600,000.
The black-tie gala featured champagne
reception, silent auction, “diamond”
champagne, dinner with a live auction, the
famous casino with accompanying wheel of
fortune and dancing to the music of the
Fabulous CruiseTones.
At least 725 guests attended the March 10
gala at the Tech Museum of Innovation and
Parkside Hall in San Jose. For the 14th year,
Utratech CEO Art Zafiropoulo underwrote
the event for “the house that love built.”

James Bond would have approved of the
martini shaker and matching glasses event
founder Ron Conway, of Angel Investors and
Art Zafiropoulo received for their years of
generous support.
Decorations had a cool 007 look, with a large
faux diamond prominently displayed in the
archway for dinner guests to admire, with
orchid centerpieces surrounded by flashing
ice cubes and signature Bond movie posters.
The Fabulous CruiseTones’ arrangements of
Bond movie soundtracks and pomegranate
martinis (provided by Avenir Restaurant
Group) were fun secret agent touches.
Celebrity hosts Cheryl Jennings and
Don Sanchez of ABC Channel 7 News
showed off their bling by adding sparkle
during the silent auction; Jennings modeled
$1.5 million in diamonds, and Sanchez
displayed a Maurice Lacroix diamond watch
from Neiman Marcus, which was featured in
the live auction.

“This party is truly a wonderful celebration
of 20 years of “Denim to Diamonds,”
Klarreich said. “We are lucky to live in such a
caring and philanthropic community that
supports the House in its mission to provide
a home-away-from-home for families with
critically ill children.”

“Your House helped us keep our house”
Benjamin Andersen was born with a complicated brain malfunction that
required months of care in a special neonatal intensive care unit.
To be close to Benjamin, his family might have faced a devastating choice:
make the hundred-mile commute both ways each day, or pay to stay in the
Palo Alto area and lose their Modesto home.
Thanks to the generous support of our local community, the Andersens never
had to face that choice. Instead, they stayed at Ronald McDonald House
where they found a warm, supportive homeaway-from-home. Benjamin’s parents, Khat and
Scott, expressed their gratitude: “Your house
helped us keep our house.”
The House couldn’t do it without you. During
this season, please consider giving your time
or financial support so we can continue helping families who are experiencing the lifethreatening illness of a child.
