FASHIONISTAS DRESS TO IMPRESS FOR THE ANNUAL HIGH TEA AND FASHION SHOW BENEFITING THE ORANGE COUNTY RONALD McDONALD HOUSE®

SoCal residents with a flair for fashion and
philanthropy can now register to attend the 24th annual High Tea and
Fashion Show in stylish Newport Beach. Benefitting the Orange County Ronald
McDonald House, a program of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Southern
California (RMHCSC), this chic event will highlight the latest trends while
raising money and awareness for the charity, which provides a
“home-away-from-home” for families with critically ill children. Guests will
enjoy a dynamic afternoon that includes a high tea social, fashion show, reception
and silent auction. Over the years, the event has helped raise more than $1.5
million for the charity.

RMHCSC provides comfort, care and support to
children and families in Southern California through a number of programs
including: six Ronald McDonald Houses which offer low-cost, and often free,
temporary housing for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at
adjacent hospitals and medical centers; two Ronald McDonald Family Rooms that serve
as an oasis inside the hospital for parents with children in the pediatric
intensive care unit and neonatal intensive
care unit;
and Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times®, a free,
medically-supervised, sleep-away camp, provides children with cancer, and their
families, an opportunity to process their diagnosis and restore their
self-esteem while learning independence and self-reliance in the therapeutic
environment of the great outdoors. Learn more about RMHCSC by visiting www.rmhcsc.org and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
