Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida will bring back its Wine & Fries fundraising event on September 19 with a new carnival twist at Hotel Effie Sandestin.

• The event, presented by Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast, will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the hotel’s rooftop and feature wine pairings with McDonald’s French fries. Tickets cost $115 and can be purchased online here up to an hour before the event begins.

Guests will enjoy a silent auction, dancing with a DJ and “Classic Carnival” charm throughout the evening. The event will include a presentation from a family whose lives have been touched by the organization’s services.

All proceeds support RMHC of Northwest Florida, which provides a “home away from home” for families with children receiving medical care. The Pensacola-based organization has served the community since opening in 1984.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida operates from 5200 Bayou Blvd. in Pensacola. The organization’s mission focuses on providing essential services that reduce barriers, strengthen families and promote healing when children need healthcare.
