Many thanks to the ladies and gentlemen who helped to make our sold-out 23rd Annual High Tea and Fashion Show a success! Attendees experienced a beautiful traditional high tea and were treated to an exclusive look at this season's hottest fashions during the Fashion Show hosted by Fashion Island, Newport Beach.

This year's High Tea and Fashion Show was dedicated to Mrs. Gene Widdicombe, High Tea Chair Emeritus. Gene was the first woman in Orange County to own and operate a McDonald's restaurant. Additionally, she and her family helped to build and open the Orange County Ronald McDonald House in 1989. She launched the first High Tea and Fashion show that year.

We also thank the Papa family, who shared their moving story about their stay here at the Orange County Ronald McDonald House while their daughter Brooklyn was being treated at CHOC.
