RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES® (RMHC®) OF THE COASTAL EMPIRE

CHEF OF THE HOUSE CHALLENGE Savannah,  Georgia

Ira Ruby cares about Ronald McDonald House

Dear Friends,

I am honored to support Ronald McDonald House Charities by participating in the Chef of the House Challenge.  Thank you so much for supporting me and this worthy cause.  My goal is to raise a one-month stay for a family--31 Nights at $65 per night, $2,015.  If you could see your way to sponsor me for 1 or 2 nights it will be an enormous help and encouragement.  The event's prize sponsor, Kitchenware Outfitters, will be giving a $25 gift certificate to every donor who contributes $65 or more to my page between now and the competition. (Certificates will be mailed to you.)

I will be preparing a meal for the residents of Ronald McDonald House in competition with a dear friend, Arlene Nash on July 31st, 2009. 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
$2,015 covers an entire month for one family
 
These are just suggested donations.  Any and all donations no matter the level are welcomed with open arms.
