NAPLES, FL USA- Gulf Coast International Properties® Agent Ruth Morency recently hosted a fundraiser to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Florida.
The Wednesday, December 6th Christmas Event at Gulf Coast International Properties 5th Avenue Naples office was co-hosted by Gretchen Bauer of BSwanky handbags. Guests were invited to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the children and siblings staying at Ronald McDonald House in Ft. Myers.
Among the many family programs offered by the non-profit, the 380+ Ronald McDonald House Programs throughout the country hold a cherished place in Ms. Morency’s heart, as she and her family stayed at the Ft. Myers House when her twin babies were undergoing urgent care after birth. Ronald McDonald House Charities are a home away from home that provide comfort, support, and resources to families who travel far from home for the medical care their child needs.
The well-attended event welcomed many GCIP clients and colleagues, and the generosity and good will of the season was in full swing.
