Christmas Giving: Raising Funds for the Ronald McDonald House

Middle Georgia Residents...are you still looking for that last minute perfect gift?  

Christmas Giving: Raising Funds for the Ronald McDonald HouseDid you know if you purchase the 2011 Southern Living Holiday Cookbook sold at the Dillard's Department store at The Shoppes at River Crossing in Macon you help benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities?  The holiday season is about giving so what better way than to buy a book for a friend or family member, knowing proceeds will help a family stay at the Ronald McDonald House while their child gets the medical help they need.

Want to do even more?  Dig deep this Christmas, give generously, and help sponsor stays of: one night ($15), one week ($105), or one month ($465).  More details are available at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Georgia website.  In addition, the staff can be reached at (478) 746-4090 if you have further questions.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Georgia provides care and support for families of children 18 and under who are seriously ill, critically injured or medically fragile and are being treated at area medical facilities.

As always, local events are provided as a courtesy by your Warner Robins Real Estate Specialist, Anita Clark Realtor.

Excellent cause for a fundraiser.  I will have to hide your post from Dolores.  She collects cookbooks.

Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah and a Very Merry Christmas from Roy and Dolores, your friends in Maryland

That's right Keith...maybe the recipient will try one of the recipes out on you too. ;-)

I agree Ginny.  There are so many worthy causes but my heart always cries out for kids.

HA...I bet Dolores is a wonderful cook, Roy!

Very true Al/Peggy, both have great returns.

Thanks Mike...I hope your Christmas is a Blessed one too.

Dorie...the good part is, they do accept direct donations so those that don't want to shop can give in other ways.

I love hearing about all the ways the community gives back during the holiday season! Thanks for putting information out there for people to know about it! So many charities don't get the exposure they need to be the most successful. Great cause! Thanks for stopping by my blog!

They do such much good, Anita, and I had no idea you could sponsor for a night or more. Thanks for sharing the information. And I love Southern Living Cookbooks if anyone in my family is listening.

Even though I'm not a fan of the restaurant, I'm a huge fan of the Ronald McDonald House. Helping children in need is the greatest things one can do in this world.

The Ronald McDonald House is an excellent charity that has impacted some of my own extended family.  They step when families and children need them the most.  Buy the Southern Living Cookbook and benefit this great organazation.

If the Southern Living cookbook is anything like the magazine, it's filled with great treats I'm sure.  I'm with Craig, not a fan of Micky D's, but do so appreciate the Ronald McDonald house - and for the same reason. Hope you help sell those cookbooks Anita. :)
