McDonald’s to our organization through the years can never be quantified.” McDonald’s is a founding partner of Ronald McDonald House Charities nationally and here in St. Louis. Thanks to local Owner/Operators’ support in the 1980s, the first Ronald McDonald House on West Pine Boulevard opened. Now, 40 years later, their giving legacy lives on through the McDonald’s Co-Op. Crewmembers from across the region support The House that Love Built through the Round-Up program and the Scramble for Charity Golf Tournament, sponsored by McDonald’s. Many Owner/Operators have served on the Board of Directors and a variety of committees. The Heart & Sole Award was created in 2005 to honor Coldwell Banker Realty - Gundaker for its more than 20-year commitment to our organization. Each year, RMHC St. Louis celebrates a new supporter or group of supporters who emulate Coldwell Banker Realty - Gundaker’s commitment and generosity. “We couldn’t be prouder to have their name on our front door,” says Dan.
