The At Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Western Washington & Alaska, we support seriously ill children and their families. At our Seattle & Anchorage Houses, we provide a home away from home to support families while their children receive the critical medical care they need. To learn more about the Houses, visit www.rmhcseattle.org.

If you live in or around Seattle, then chances are high you've heard of Georgetown's Bob's Brown Ale. Named after Charles “Bob” Hirsch, the beer is an homage to Charle's life spent fighting cancer. But Bob's Brown Ale isn't just an homage, it's an opportunity for each imbiber to support a worthy charity, The Ronald McDonald House. This year however, you will have another opportunity to support the RMC, with the "Men in Kilts" fundraiser.

Sponsored by Pike Brewing Company, The Taran Thistle, Stanton J. Stephens, and SACaudill Web Development, Men In Kilts asks you to vote with your checkbook, by donating $10 to 1 one of 16 different businesses, including your local Pike Brewing Company.
