Q: Why did you choose RMHC of the Carolinas?
A: A few years ago, close friends of mine spent several months at Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas (RMHCC) in Greenville, S.C. while their infant daughter was in NICU after a premature birth. They spoke often of the peaceful haven that RMHCC provided for their family, so when I moved to Greenville, I decided that I wanted to give back on their behalf.
I enjoy spending a few hours a week doing whatever handyman tasks are needed to provide RMHCC guests with rooms that are well-maintained with everything working properly. Having a child battle serious illness is a traumatic experience for any parent, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute in a small way to caring for families during those critical times.
The more time I spend at RMHCC, the more I realize what an absolutely critical service is being offered there. To anyone who is looking for a way to give back and serve their community, I would recommend volunteering at RMHC of the Carolinas. It’s a rewarding and satisfying experience that I look forward to every week.
Thank you for all that you do, Andrew!

GREENVILLE, S.C. (April 12, 2018) – Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the Carolinas received a $34,000 grant from Child’s Play Charity, a game industry charity, to provide digital play touch tables to partner hospitals. This grant was combined with an in-kind donation of one addition touch table and 10 touch table games donated by AFTER-MOUSE.COM, a leader in multi- touch applications, as part of their PLAY for Good program. Together, this support allowed RMHC of the Carolinas to secure five digital gaming tables that feature educational and fun games for children to use during their visits or stays at the hospital.
“We are so thrilled to be able to give these play touch tables to our partner hospitals,” said Marti Spencer. “These tables are an extension of our mission here at the Ronald McDonald House. Our goal is to keep families close to their critically ill or injured child receiving treatment, while also providing a home like atmosphere for families to feel comfortable in. It takes a lot of strength for children to be in hospitals for visits or long periods of time, so we wanted them to ultimately still feel like a kid and play games they would in their own home. These play touch tables allow just that.”
With the support of AFTER-MOUSE.COM’s PLAY for Good program, RMHC of the Carolinas discovered Child’s Play Charity, a foundation dedicated to improving the lives of children in hospitals and domestic abuse shelters around the world through the kindness and generosity of the video game community and the power of play. The support of the PLAY for Good team and generosity of Child’s Play allowed RMHC of the Carolinas to secure five multi-player digital touch tables, and this week presented three tables to its partner hospitals: St. Francis’ Adolescent Young Adult Cancer Center, Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital and Shriner’s Hospital for Children Greenville. The play touch tables will be placed in the lobby of each hospital and will be used by the Child Life Department and pediatric patients during their visit or stay. The two remaining play touch tables will be used inside the Ronald McDonald House and its new expansion. Each digital gaming table features over 15 collaborative and educational children’s games.
“AFTER-MOUSE.COM launched the PLAY for Good program to help connect organizations like Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas with our network of partners in an effort to bring the benefits of collaborative touch table play to children and their families around the world,” says Amanda Pope, Director of the PLAY for Good program. “We are so pleased to see RMHC of the Carolinas take the support they received and extend it beyond their House into the local hospitals, where so many pediatric patients and families must spend their time.”

The golf tournament begins with a Pairings Party the evening of Tuesday, April 10th at the, soon–to-open, expansion of the Ronald McDonald House.

The pairings party will feature a sneak peek expansion tour, heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks.
The golf tournament kicks off Wednesday morning at the Cliffs Mountain Park course with 18 spectacular holes of golf.

Golfers are invited for breakfast prior to the tee off at 10:00 a.m., will enjoy lunch on the green and then are invited to a Bacon & Bourbon Wrap Up event afterwards to finish off a day of play.
