Online Auction to Raise Funds for Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald House is a godsend for many families needing short or long term accommodations while their child receives medical treatment. It is not just somewhere to stay, but also offers a home like atmosphere and support. Many families with children affected by cerebral palsy are forces to travel out of state and far from home to receive the best medical care. Ronald McDonald house has been a viable option for these families and here is a way to help.

What if the money that you spent on holiday gifts all went to help children and families? What if terrific, unique items were available in a convenient online auction and you could view and select gifts without long lines, crowded stores and jam-packed parking lots?
