Advanced Home Care
Advanced Home Care hosted their 18th Annual Charity Golf Tournament on September 21st in Greensboro and raised $60,000 for charity. The proceeds were split between the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina and Wellmont Health System Children's Services. Each year, the proceeds from the event benefit two charitable organizations within Advanced Home Care's service area.
Advance Home Care is a not-for-profit, hospital-affiliated company that offers the remarkable full-service health care that patients need in the comfort of their own homes. They operate 34 branch locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee and service over 30,000 patients each day. Their mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of patients by providing compassionate, high-quality, home health care with dedicated, caring, and highly skilled staff.
In response to the successful tournament, Joel Mills, Advanced Home Care’s CEO said, “I’m very proud that we are able to work together with members of our community and partners of Advanced Home Care to help these two charities. This has been our most successful tournament to-date, thanks to everyone who supported our 18th annual charity golf event. It’s because of you that we may give back to those in the communities we serve who need our assistance the most. And it’s also because of you that Advanced Home Care is able to care for over 30,000 patients in the comfort of their homes each day.”

SCENTSY
Scentsy, an international, direct sales company that specializes in wickless candles, has recently partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities for their Fall/Winter cause marketing campaign.
Scentsy has created Sasha, a new member of the "Scentsy Buddy" family, to serve as the cause product for this campaign. 100 percent of the net commission from sales of Sasha will benefit RMHC global.
In addition to the global funds, Shannon Grant, Megan Wamer, and Annette Cash, local Scentsy Consultants from team Heavenescents, have organized the “Making a Difference" campaign to benefit the local Ronald McDonald house. Team Heavenescents is collecting donations from individuals and businesses for the purchase of the scented buddies that will warm the hearts of children hospitalized in the community. Their goal is for every hospitalized child whose family is staying at the Ronald McDonald House to receive a buddy free of charge. The buddies are available in eight different characters with over 30 Scent Pak options.
Area businesses have enthusiastically embraced this campaign and have committed funds to purchase over 200 buddies so far. Scentsy's Charitable Cause Buddy, Sasha, will be a special buy this season. In addition, consultants from Team Heavenescents are giving their personal commissions from the sales of this buddy to the local RMH. These donations will directly benefit our House and our families of Eastern North Carolina. The profits from each Sasha bear sold will generate the equivalent of one night's stay at the RMH! The team is also dedicating their time to periodically prepare meals for the families.
