ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Atlanta Ronald McDonald House Charities’ (ARMHC) 7th annual
Hearts and Hands Gala will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, November
14 at Flourish in Buckhead. The event, hosted by Fox 5 chief
meteorologist David Chandley, will feature live and silent
auctions and a performance by comedians Tripp and Tyler.
The Coca-Cola Company is the event’s presenting sponsor with Event
Chair, Javier C. Goizueta, Vice President of The Coca-Cola
Company and President of the McDonald’s Division Worldwide. Muhtar
Kent, serving as Honorary Chair, is Chairman and CEO of The

“No family should be alone during the emotional and financial turmoil of
their child’s life-threatening illness. Proceeds from this event will be
used to keep families at our two Atlanta Houses close so their sick
child won’t have to face their illness without their mom or dad by their
side,” said Goizueta.
The Ronald McDonald House helps keep families close to their children
receiving medical treatment, allowing the caregivers to spend more time
with their child and interact with their clinical care team. The two
Atlanta Houses have provided a home away from home to more than 45,000
families of ill and injured children since the first Atlanta House
opened in 1979.
