The Hearts of Gold Gala was held March 4 as a celebration of the many kind individuals who have contributed to the Ronald McDonald House of Durham and Wake Counties, giving hope to seriously ill children and their families. The event featured a silent auction, Wall of Wine and raffle, and raised more than $230,000 for the organization. Held at the Angus Barn Pavilion in Raleigh, the gala honored the recipients of the 2016 Heart of Gold Awards, Carolyn K. Penny, Ric Richards and Edith Rosenblatt.
