For the second year, a local couple is giving back to Ronald Mc Donald house.
Tiffany and Wes Cunningham organize the ‘Cocktails and Candy Canes’ event in support of the organization, because they used it when their daughter Ella was born 11 weeks early.
“We stayed at the Ronald McDonald house the entire time she was in hospital for 71 days,” Cunningham says. “You don’t really know how amazing the organization is until you need it yourself. It literally gives you a home away from home right next to the hospital.”
Cunningham says they had to stay in a hotel in the States when their son was born, and are thankful for the money they saved with their daughter’s experience.
The inaugural event in 2018 raised $10,000. This year’s fundraiser brought in $14,000.
