House Update: May 2015
Michelle's Message
 

Hello,

 

Summer is approaching

and we have many wonderful events to celebrate the season! Coming up in June we have a dine-to-donate event at The Fox and Hound, the Heroes for the House 5K and our annual Swing for Kids Pro-Am Golf tournament. Then on July 17, please join us for our 11th annual Pop Tab and Coin Drop on Monument Circle.

 

As always, we're incredibly grateful for the opportunities provided by supporters like you and our sponsors who make it possible to host these events and provide the high-quality level of comfort and care you've come to know from the Ronald McDonald House of Indiana. We have so many exciting things in store this summer. I hope to see you around!

 

Thank you,

 

 

Michelle Study-Campbell, CEO

It's almost that time of year again -- time to gather your collections of pop tabs and join us on Friday, July 17, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. at our 11th Annual Pop Tab Drop on Monument Circle.

The event will have fun for all ages, including games, music by Pop and the Twisters band, the opportunity to take a picture next to the world's largest pop tab, an appearance by Ronald McDonald himself, and more! So keep collecting those tabs and start saving those pennies. Your small change can make a big difference!
