Colleen as Mrs. Claus for Ronald McDonald House Families

Dec 1, 2020

Ronald McDonald House Charities hosted a Breakfast with Santa in 2019 to celebrate the holidays with RMHC families. When recently asked about Colleen’s turn acting as Mrs. Claus, Jack Gilhooly, Development Manager for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana, said:

Not surprisingly, when we needed a volunteer to play Mrs. Claus, Colleen’s hand immediately went up. Look at the smiles on all those kids faces--not to mention hers! She was so great with the kids!

Colleen, remembering her own family’s use of a Ronald McDonald House, was the Volunteer Committee Co-Chair for Red Shoe Society, RMHC’s group of young professional advocates. She wrote:

“I am going to be volunteering as Mrs. Claus on Saturday at a Breakfast with Santa fundraiser at Texas de Brazil [the host] in Chicago. We are raising funds for the Ronald McDonald House Charities which is very near and dear to my heart!”

Colleen’s true spirit of giving back shines in each photo of Mrs. Claus. She will always be near and dear to our hearts!
