25th Annual Cup O’Cheer
If there ever was a year when we need a Cup O’Cheer … With safety being our top priority, we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of Cup O’Cheer this year with a “Tea Party At Home”. The tradition of Cup O’Cheer has brought us all together for 24 years on the Friday before Thanksgiving. We’ve gathered with treasured family and friends to tour beautiful homes decorated for the holidays; enjoyed Holiday Tea with desserts and savory treats; collected commemorative teacups and saucers created especially for Cup O’Cheer by Obelisk Home; shopped from our contributing vendors and silent auction; and most importantly, spent uninterrupted time with special people in our lives. Although we could not hold an in-person event for the second year in 2021, we had a great time seeing everyone’s photos and hearing stories as guests partied from home with their Tea Party in a Box! Tea Parties included those well-loved teacups and saucers, a Mason jar cookie kit with the recipe provided by Simply Delicious, custom Cup O’Cheer napkins, and a create-it-yourself holiday ornament kit. If you missed getting yours, teacups and saucers are still available for purchase. Although our plans had to change, our mission remains the same. We encourage all of you who support the Ronald McDonald Houses and Tooth Truck through Cup O’Cheer to consider RMHC in your holiday giving plans. Your gift will help us continue to support our families during this challenging time. Make your donation or get your 2021 teacup and saucer online at RMHCozarks.org/events/ cup-o-cheer or by calling 417.875.3505. We are hopeful by November 2022, we will have a safe way to be together again and carry on the in-person tradition of Cup O’Cheer.
