The Dahl family’s journey with Ronald McDonald House (RMHC) began more than eleven years ago when Christi and Brad discovered through an ultrasound that their soon-to-be-born daughter, Poppy, had a serious heart condition requiring immediate care after birth.
When the young family, with their one-year-old son, Crosby, arrived in Seattle to await Poppy’s birth, RMHC immediately relieved the stress of finding a place to stay. This allowed them to focus on Poppy’s care and raising young Crosby.
The House quickly became more than just a place to sleep—it became their home and community during a challenging time, enabling them to stay together through Poppy’s first months of life.
During this scary, unpredictable time, Seattle Children’s gave the Dahls hope, and RMHC provided them with a home.
Now, eleven years later, with four children—Crosby, Edelweiss, Magnolia, and Poppy—the Dahls remain part of the Ronald McDonald House family as Poppy continues to receive care at Seattle Children’s. The House remains their sanctuary, keeping their family united and strong.
The Dahls embody the spirit of Ronald McDonald House by always putting family first. As we celebrate 40 years of caring for families, they truly represent our past, present, and future. We are excited to introduce them to you tonight!

A rare gem from one of the finest vintages of the 20th century, this bottle of 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild exemplifies the elegance and sophistication of Bordeaux’s legendary Pauillac appellation. With a deep garnet hue, this first-growth wine offers complex aromas of cassis, cedar, and graphite, with undertones of tobacco and spice that have developed beautifully over decades. The palate is rich yet refined, with an exquisite balance of ripe fruit, silky tannins, and a finish that lingers impressively.
The 1982 vintage is renowned for its perfect growing conditions, which produced a wine that is now considered one of the greatest expressions of Château Lafite Rothschild. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future years, this is a collector’s piece that embodies the epitome of Bordeaux winemaking. (100DC, 98JA, 98RP, 97VN, 96JS, 94WS)

Alaska is committed to showing up with care everywhere we fly.

We are proud to support RMHC, because every family deserves a home away from home during their child’s medical journey.
