Dear «First»,
As a nonprofit organization, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio relies heavily on the support of our
community to continue delivering services for those in need. We provide warm meals, comfortable beds, and a positive
environment to create a home-away-from-home for families of hospitalized children. Our programs help moms and dads
find rest at a location close to what matters most – their ill or injured child. This generates a sense of hope for families as
they navigate some of the most difficult times of their lives. This hope is only made possible through the generous support
of our loyal partners throughout central Ohio and beyond.
Because of donors like you, we were able to serve over 3,000 families at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House as the
world’s largest RMHC in 2014. You can genuinely make a difference in these families’ lives by helping us continue our
services with the funds raised at our special events. We ask that you consider supporting RMHC of Central Ohio by
donating an item to be included in our silent auctions during RMHC Golf Classic.
 RMHC Joe Mortellaro Golf Classic, Monday, July 13th
, 2015: Over 400 golfers are hosted by Honorary Co-
Chairs Coach Thad Matta and Coach Urban Meyer at this largest charity golf outing in Central Ohio.
 Golfers will have the opportunity to play at Scioto Reserve, Kinsale, Wedgewood, Double Eagle or the

 Over $3 million has been raised, providing over 30,000 nights at RMHC of Central Ohio.
As an auction donor, not only will you help to raise valuable funds for hospitalized children and their families, but your
business will gain valuable exposure from the thousands of individuals that attend our events.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider partnering with RMHC of Central Ohio. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 614-227-6039 or via e-mail at meredith.harrison@rmhc-centralohio.org.

Sincerely,
