The house relies on donations from individuals, organizations and businesses to raise the funds necessary to provide a “home-away-from-home” for the children and families of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The doors of “The House That Love Built” have stayed open for nearly twenty years, due to the generosity of the Memphis community, including local businesses, like Monogram Food Solutions. “We could not be happier to be giving back to the kids and families of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Memphis. This wonderful “home-away-from-home” has opened their arms to provide shelter and warmth to so many. This project means a lot to our entire organization, especially this time of year. It’s our way of giving thanks!” said Karl Schledwitz, CEO for King Cotton & Circle B Meats. “We’re very appreciative of King Cotton and Circle B’s support for Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Memphis. King Cotton and Circle B care about kids and families and the proceeds raised from this campaign will directly benefit the children and families that are staying at Ronald McDonald House of Memphis. This is an exciting opportunity for Ronald McDonald House of Memphis to partner with a brand as well known in Memphis and the Mid-South as King Cotton and Circle B.” added Caron Byrd, Executive Director for Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Memphis.
