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.
