ROANOKE, Va. – The Ronald McDonald House is kicking off its annual Rock a Tee fundraiser.
Nonprofit leaders are asking you to rock a T-shirt this year that has a design with the word "home." They said it reflects their mission of giving families with sick children a home away from home.
Every year, sports teams, churches, schools and other groups participate in Rock a Tee day, raising $10,000 to $15,000 for the charity.
"If it wasn't for our community, we just simply could not take care of these families. We have to raise over $500,000 every year just to operate this home," Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southwest Virginia Executive Director Anna Semonco said.
You can buy a T-shirt now for $10 or $12, then wear it on Rock a Tee day, which is Sept. 14. Click here to buy yours.
