Wine & Fries, powered by Step One Automotive Group and hosted by Hotel Effie Sandestin on Friday, September 22nd, helped raise vital funds for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northwest Florida. Attendees were warmly welcomed with McDonald’s French fries from Costa McDonald’s, setting the tone for a memorable night filled with a sunset view, delicious food, and charitable giving.

Guests enjoyed delicious bites catered by Hotel Effie Sandestin along with McDonald’s French fries being passed around throughout the night. A wide array of wines was selected for the event, including a local rosé by Salty Beverages. Wine & Fries also featured a large silent auction with items ranging from local artwork to a private chef four-course meal for ten. To add to the excitement, guests were given the chance to participate in a wine wagon raffle.

President Summer Jimmerson expressed her gratitude, “Our hearts are incredibly full from all the support shown by our guests, sponsors, and community partners to help make tonight such a success. From all of us at Ronald McDonald House, thank you. The funds raised from Wine & Fries will go to supporting families whose child is facing a medical emergency.”
