Fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House
Each year.. I donate a either my sitting fees and portions of my profit to a specific charity...
in the past it has been the Autism Society of America, Little Friends, Inc., and the Y-Me Race in Chicago..
also last year we had a silent auction for a family that had an extremely hard year behind them...
This year.. I want to do something a little different..
I am hosting a gift drive and money donations for The Ronald McDonald House of Chicago... look below for more details
This fundraiser.. is open to all but I am personally asking my clients for help.
The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” to keep families together while their child is receiving medical treatment far from home. Located near , Children’s Memorial Hospital, the House provide comfortable & private rooms, opportunities to bond with other families going through similar situations, and delicious meals prepared by giving volunteers for a suggested donation of $10 per night.
Here is our wish list the house manager told me they need:
*Easy Mac
*Soup
*Frozen Meals
*Canned pasta
*Cereals
*Snack Items
*Lysol Spray
*C-Fold towels
*Paper Towels
*Kleenex
*Clorox wipes
*Travel size shampoo and conditioner
* Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and plastic sandwich bags
* Laundry detergent and fabric softener
* Cleaning products (scrub pads, sponges, dish washing liquid, dishwasher detergent)
* Bath and bedroom items (sheets, pillow cases, towels, shower curtains)
* Trial size personal care products (deodorant, tooth paste, bath soap, shampoo, conditioner)
* Entertainment products (new toys, games, DVDs, books)
* Food (canned goods and non-perishables)
-Since I will be delivery this the day after Thanksgiving.. she also said families that are there during the holiday's they like to give them a little something (they get plenty of childrens toys but the adults and older children there is nothing to give to them) so they are looking for small increment gift cards to walgreens, chipotle, barnes and nobles, mcdonalds, bp gas.. etc.
-Also..if anyone wants to donate money they can do that.. I am going to be taking pictures of the families that are there and giving them a CD of their shoots and I am going to try if we get enough money try to cater a dinner for them from Portillo's.
I hope anyone and everyone can try to help out a little, I know times are hard.. but I cannot imagine going through these hard times in America along with being away from home and having a sick child in the hospital.
