"Bids
for Kids" and the Classic Golf and Tennis Tournament
are Big Hits!
The
Ronald McDonald House of the Twin Cities recently
completed two very successful events! On July 24th,
FM107.1, in partnership with Schneiderman's Furniture,
broadcasted their 2nd Annual "Bids for Kids"
fundraiser supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities,
Upper Midwest. The radio-a-thon included a fantastic
live auction, as well as several heart-felt stories
from families who have experienced our Ronald McDonald
House. The event generated an impressive $42,345.52
for "The House That Love Built." A special
thanks to Hubbard Broadcasting and all who made
this special radio event a huge success!
August 4th marked the Ronald McDonald House Classic
Golf and Tennis Tournament. A newly-added Celebrity
Doubles Tennis Tournament was added to the 18th
annual Golf Tournament to create a one-of-a-kind
summer event! Nearly 200 people participated in
the days festivities and raised over $80,000 for
the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
Mark your calendars for next year's event on August
3, 2009! Thank you title partner United Hospital
Services and our other sponsors for making this
event a hole-in-one!
Keeping
Families Together and Strong
Since 1979 Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper
Midwest, and our cornerstone program, Ronald McDonald
House of the Twin Cities, have provided a home-away-from-home
for families whose children are receiving medical
treatment in the Twin Cities for cancer or other
life-threatening illnesses. In addition to providing
lodging for 48 families on any given night, innovative
programs create a sense of community and encouragement
for these families facing critical pediatric illness.
Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest also
extends support to children and families who do
not live at the Ronald McDonald House though various
outreach programs.
