CHARLESTON, SC – For the eighth consecutive year, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort will bring the season of giving to the guests of the Charleston Ronald McDonald House with their ‘Five Star Day’ Event.
On Wednesday, October 28th, the staff of the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort will work their magic at Charleston’s Ronald McDonald House to turn this ‘home away from home’ for families of seriously ill children into a Five Star Hotel for a day. The hotel staff, including its award winning chefs, spa employees, naturalists and others will provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, massages, facials, manicures, entertainment, recreation, housekeeping and laundry services, and much more!
‘Five Star Day is quite possibly the nicest treat any parent could receive, and for our parents it’s especially wonderful. Spending long days at the hospital looking after their sick children is eased considerably on this day when the kind staff of the Sanctuary of Kiawah take over the Ronald McDonald House with gourmet meals, massages, entertainment, cleaning and more,’ said Alix Tew, Director of Development at the Ronald McDonald House.
Other companies that help make the eighth Annual Five Star Day happen are Mercedes of Charleston, Out of Hand and Out of the Garden and Sysco Foods of Columbia.
The Ronald McDonald House of Charleston provides a ‘home away from home’ for families of seriously ill children who have traveled to Charleston for their child’s medical treatment. The House just recently finished a 5 bedroom, bathroom expansion along with a kitchen renovation for a total of 32 bedrooms. The House eliminates the financial burden of costly hotels and provides a home-like atmosphere where families can lead a life as normal as possible during their time of need. In 2014 the Ronald McDonald House served 798 families. The House has also served families from all 50 states and 13 foreign counties over the past 32 years.
