A Day of Fishing for the Ronald McDonald House

This is just not an ordinary day to go fishing for the Menendez children. Saturday will be the Fourth Annual Menendez Ronald McDonald House Fishing Event.

“This idea came from my wife, Donna,” said Mark Menendez. “She wanted to give back to the Ronald McDonald after our stay with our son, Max. He is a healthy and happy five- year old. We were sent to Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville, KY, immediately after Max was born. Our son was going to be fine.” recalled Menendez.

“We split the difference on the children’s birthdays and invited all of their friends for a fishing party in the family pond. The catch was that there were to be no gifts! We ask that a donation be made to the Ronald McDonald House.” stated Menendez. We are looking to host 70 children this year. Each angler will receive a tackle pack and fishing hat from Strike King Lure Company. They will also receive a gift card for a cheeseburger from our local McDonald restaurant.

“Our hope is to help other families in their time of need. We will never forget our time at the Ronald McDonald House. We are truly grateful for a resource such as this,” said Donna Menendez.
