Dear Friends, Family and Fellow Foodies,

I am honored to once again support Ronald McDonald House Charities by participating in the Chef of the House Challenge. Over the past two years, I have raised more than $5,000 for RMHC thanks to you.  On behalf of the families supported by RMHC in a time of crisis, I am grateful.

My goal is to shoot for a 1-month stay for a family which is $2,015.  If you could see your way to sponsor me for 1 or 2 nights it will be an enormous help and encouragement.  I raise this money in honor of my two healthy kids:  Lily and Truman, and my nieces and nephews Livvy and Gabe and Jessica and Ben.  May we never experience the need for a Ronald McDonald House and always find the time and ability to help.

Once again, I will be preparing a meal for the residents of Ronald McDonald House in cooperation with my competitor from the first year-- Executive Chef Kirk Blaine of The Driftaway Cafe!  We are challenging Executive Chef and Owner of Cha Bella's, Chef Matt Roher!  We are the grand finale-- on the VERY last day of the Challenge, Friday 8/26/11. It is all in good fun for the Charity, and I appreciate all the support you can give.

The Savannah Ronald McDonald House provides comfort and a place to stay for parents with critically ill or injured children. Their 10-bedroom House offers all the qualities of home--beds, showers, laundry room, and a home-cooked meal prepared each night by community volunteers with their Adopt A Meal program. Raising funds makes it possible for families to stay regardless of their financial situation with their Share A Night program. The House operates at nearly 100% occupancy, 365 days a year. It costs RMHC $65 per day to provide its brand of hospitality for each family.

Suggested Donations:
$65 covers the cost for one family for one night at the House
$130 covers two nights for one family
$455 covers an entire week for one family

These are just suggested donations. Any and all donations no matter the level are welcomed with open arms.
