Exit Realty on the Rock raised $100,000 for the local Ronald McDonald House.

Exit Realty on the Rock hosted a black tie gala sit-down dinner for 700 people, with live and silent auctions at the St John’s Convention Centre recently. The evening included performances by Fatima Accordion Group, Crooked Stovepipe and Stephanie Barbour. The keynote address was delivered by national television personality Peter Mansbridge (anchor of CBC’s The National). The event raised $100,000 for Ronald McDonald House Newfoundland and Labrador.

Brokerage owner Anne Squires says, “The need for a Ronald McDonald House in Newfoundland and Labrador is truly great. For those children and families that travel great distance for care, there is an added financial and emotional burden related to the uncertainty of where they will live. By providing affordable and comfortable accommodations, Ronald McDonald House Newfoundland Labrador will remove this burden for many of these families and enable them to concentrate on helping their sick children to get well.”
