Guest Chef Dinner:
December 5th, 2009 @ 5:30 pm
The Ronald McDonald House at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children
We will prepare and serve dinner for up to 15 families staying at the house. We are looking for volunteers! This will be our last guest chef dinner with the Ronald McDonald House!

To sign up, please contact Vicente Elorza at velorza@palaceresorts.com.

The Ronald McDonald House at St. Christopher’s Hospital has a budget of $2.5 Million and they are responsible for raising 90% of that money. It costs them $75.00 a day for each family that stays at the home, and they charge the families only $15.00 a day to stay. If a family cannot afford it, the home will not turn them away, and will instead let them stay for free! Let’s all pitch in to help them raise money for their budget, so they can continue to help families with children in the hospital.
