For over 40 years, my family and I have been involved with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California. This year, I am proud to share that I am Vice Chairman of the RMHCSC Board of Trustees and with this position comes my commitment to spread the word about the good they do in the community.

Every year spring begins with The Ronald McDonald House Charities Walk for Kids. This major fundraising effort is critically important to the operation of our unique House and Camp Programs.

 In my role, I will lead by example. My goal this year is $15,000. With the generous support from friends, colleagues, and family, I know we can reach this goal.

Our House Programs provide a “home-away from home” for families with seriously ill children. The child is just across the street at the local Children’s Hospital, with their family close by. Our Houses provide an integral part of the healing process, a place of Wellness for the families, a place to rest, to make a meal, or share a conversation with another parent dealing with similar issues.

Our Camp Program (one of a kind as there isn't one anywhere else) provides a place where children who require cancer-related medical care can go to experience the thrill of being a camper in nature's full glory and have some sense of normalcy. To be a kid without worrying about the extraordinary circumstances they are enduring.

Our organization serves families from Southern California, other states and countries around the world.  Families with sick children all speak the same language. They are in the right place.

Will you join me in making a difference in the lives of families with critically ill children? Together, we can help families heal. 

Please consider making a donation or joining us in person to walk with us on May 6th in Irvine.  

We much appreciate your consideration!
