            Ronald McDonald House- To support Tod Children’s Hospital

Architects have been asked to team up with contractors to build playhouses that will be sold through live auctions and raffle sales.  All proceed to Tod Children’s Hospital.  The playhouses must be completed by the first week in August and will be displayed at various places such as Southern Park Mall, The Canfield Fair and The Octoberfest.  We believe this is a great opportunity for our firms to get publicity while donating to a worthwhile cause.  For additional information, contact Art Morris.
