Stylishly Fundraising: 24th Annual High Tea Fashion Show

Today’s annual fundraiser for the Orange County Ronald McDonald House was held at the beautiful Island Hotel & Resort in Newport Beach across from Fashion Island. I’ve never attended this particular charity event and was thrilled to see how well attended it was. And speaking of the attendees…these women were super stylish from head-to-toe. I mean they had it going on with their accessorizing. I was thoroughly impressed by the accessorizing because many women have a hard time with this part of dressing.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. John German the Chair Board of Trustees, Vincent Bryson CEO  and Deborah Levy Executive Director. They gave me a little history about the foundation and the house. The Ronald McDonald house provides a home-away-from-home for families to stay close by their hospitalized child at little to no cost. The house was built on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.

I was so moved by a father sharing his story at the event and how the OC Ronald McDonald house helped him while his new born son received treatment nearby at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. During labor his wife unfortunately passed through complications leaving his newborn son unresponsive and stillborn. His son survived remarkably and continues to thrive. Through this house, the father had a place to call home while his son received treatment.

Next year will be the charity’s silver anniversary celebrating 25 years of raising more than $1.6 million to support the Orange County Ronald McDonald House and their two Family Rooms which directly impact the children and families they serve. What a pleasure to be a part of this amazing event and getting to see some great fashion strut down the runway all for a great cause.
