Ronald McDonald House Gala coming up

In just a few days, The Ronald McDonald House Gala is happening.

NiRoPe, Nick, Ron, and Pete Cardi from Cardi's Furniture, joined The Rhode Show, along with Nicole Anderson from The Ronald McDonald House to talk more about the event.

The Rhode Show: Nick, is the Ocean House ready to host the Gala?

Nick Cardi: They absolutely are! We hope everyone will join us! Tickets are still available! It's Saturday Night, at the Ocean House in Westerly. Great food and Wine, Dance the night away to the music of High Definition, walk the red carpet, and meet other supporters of the House, it's going to be a great night! 

The Rhode Show: Nicole, how are the final preparations going for Saturday?

Nicole Anderson: Everything is really coming together, everyone’s really pulling together even though they’re going through a mess down there. But, The Ocean House is in great condition and we're ready to go.

The Rhode Show: Ron, all the funds raised at the Gala go to support the great work the Ronald McDonald House does, right?

Ron Cardi: It's been said that it's the house that love built, and it's the support from the volunteers, staff, and great events like the Gala that truly keeps the house going on its mission.  With some of the greatest hospitals in the country here in Providence, the house offers peace of mind for the family while children receive critical care. Join us on Saturday Night and support the house!

The Rhode Show: Michaela, Will and Mary will be there to auction off some great items, but people can start now with the online auction, isn't that right Pete?

Peter Cardi: Yes! Sporting tickets, travel, unique items, all on the silent auction online right now, and for the live auction, there are some great items including a walk-on role in a Cardi's commercial!
