ROMP 2012 at the Ronald McDonald House of San Diego

ROMP, the signature event for Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, brings together San Diego’s most notable philanthropists for a “storybook” evening of giving back with this year’s theme “Once Upon a Time.” Revelers will enjoy celebrity entertainment by Boyz II Men, a seated dinner, silent and live auction, and raffle for a new 2013 Mercedes-Benz C250.

The festive gala takes place Saturday, Oct. 13 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Rancho Valencia. Tickets, which begin at $500, can be purchased by calling 858/598-2445 or visitinghttps://rmhcsd.ejoinme.org/2012ROMP

Proceeds from the gala and raffle benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego, which provides a “home away from home” to families with children being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions at local hospitals.
