Ronald McDonald House Charities Beyond Bourbon 2020 Event

 In Gainsville Florida, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of North-Central Florida hosted their Beyond Bourbon 2020 event for children getting treatment at UF Health Shands. 

The fundraiser had cocktails at the event and a silent auction, all while listening to stories of families who were impacted by the Ronald McDonald house.

The most popular live auction items were dinner for six at Spurrier's restaurant when it opens back up from COVID-19, and a trip to the Florida Keys. 

WCJB, an ABC news station in Gainsville Florida has helped host and sponsor the event since the beginning of the event. They were also proud to announce that they raised 46-thousand dollars which is more money than they raised last year.

All donations will go towards the Ronald McDonald House, which brings families together while their child is getting treatment at UF Health Shands. It not only gives these families a place to stay but a place to feel safe and closer to their child during a time where their child needs them the most.
