Local Ronald McDonald House Charities Raffles 2018 Mercedes to Raise Money

Paige and her family traveled back to Myrtle Creek, OR after a 61 night stay with us- they got home just in time for July 4th festivities!

Portland, OR. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oregon and SW Washington is raffling off a one-year lease on a 2018 C300 Mercedes to raise money for its programs.

Each ticket sold for the 2018 Mercedes Helping Kids Raffle helps extend hospitality to seriously ill children and their families, by offering them a “home away from home.” Tickets are $100.

Drawing information: Ticket sales will remain open through Monday, July 16, 2018, at noon or until all 300 tickets have been purchased, whichever comes first. The winning ticket will be drawn at the conclusion of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Golf Classic on Monday, July 16, 2018. The winner will be notified within two (2) days. Need not be present to win.

From Ronald McDonald House Charities:

Every year, thousands of families travel to Portland and Bend to get the best medical care possible for their seriously ill or injured child. And for more than 30 years, our Ronald McDonald Houses® have offered these families comfort, support, and a beautiful place to stay just moments away from their child’s bedside. Last year we welcomed 1,825 families for a total of 17,917 nights at our three Oregon Houses, hosting 2,861 children across the state. And since opening our doors, we have provided a “home away from home” for more than 35,000 families.
