Joni and I believe in giving back to our community, and one of the causes closest to our hearts is the Ronald McDonald House here in Chattanooga. We support them financially as a major contributor to the Kiwanis Fore the Kids golf fundraiser, which I'm honored to serve as presenting sponsor for, and we also volunteer at the House itself.
But we've also been on the receiving end of what Ronald McDonald House does. During some of the hardest days a family can face, they were there for us, and we've never forgotten it.
Recently, we sent a photo to Mike Brown, the House's CEO and a good friend and golfing buddy of mine, of the two of us standing in front of the Ronald McDonald Room at Siskin Children's Institute at Erlanger — a small reminder of how far their care reaches, right into the hospital rooms where families need it most.
We hope you'll consider giving your time or resources to this wonderful organization, whether directly or through efforts like Fore the Kids. It's easy to take for granted, but so many cities across the country, even ones much larger than Chattanooga, don't have a Ronald McDonald House at all. We are truly fortunate to have one here, and it deserves all the support we can give it.
