Leaving home for days, weeks or months of hospital treatments can be difficult for children. For parents, the cost of staying in hotels and buying meals becomes very expensive. Fortunately, London, Ont. has a Ronald McDonald House (RMH) where families can stay for just $10 per night, have access to supportive services and enjoy hot meals prepared by volunteers and staff. The team from Sutton Group Preferred Realty regularly volunteer at the RMH in London and recently they hosted a golf tournament in support of the charity.
Thanks to generous sponsors and donors, 72 golfers and the organizers, the tournament netted $2,365.
Lori Payne, administrative office manager at the brokerage, says, “We want our 2016 event to be even bigger and better and we’ve already started planning.”
The golf committee members (Gerry Weir, Ken Payne, Lori Payne, Colin Trevor and George Buckley) extend a special thank you to Kim and Deborah from RMH. “They gave an inspiring presentation about RMH and let participants know how their contribution will help families with sick kids.”
