February’s snowstorms might have postponed the celebration, but you just can’t keep the man in the red shoes down! The Ronald McDonald House of Durham moved its Hearts of Gold gala to the spring, commemorating the 35th anniversary for the nonprofit that has provided a home away from home for thousands of seriously ill children and their families. Guests, including representatives from Ronald McDonald House Charities Global, gathered at Angus Barn for the annual fundraiser, which raised $275,000 for the organization. The first Heart of Gold Award was presented to Dr. John Falletta, founding board member of Ronald McDonald House of Durham and former member of Ronald McDonald House Charities Global board of directors.
