The 19th annual Ronald McDonald Red Tie Gala was a record-breaking event with two special guests: Selah and Shylah Oglesby. The twin girls, who were born conjoined, spent 462 days at Ronald McDonald House while undergoing treatment to be separated.
Attendees enjoyed the botanical “Hope Grows Here” theme.
At the event, Mike Sewell received the Heart Award, granted each year to an individual who advocates for guest families and acts as an ambassador for the House.
