When Catholic Central students Damon Rottermond and David Salvatori heard one of their teachers speak last year of her nephew born with a heart condition that could prove fatal — and how the Ronald McDonald House Charities aided the child’s family while he endured surgery and other treatment to save his life — they knew right away it was an organization they wanted to help.
The boys worked together to organize a golf outing, raising $7,000 dollars, which will cover 100 overnight stays for families with children at C.S. Mott.
“When we were doing our tentative count (of funds raised) and it was more than $6,000, we were saying ‘oh my gosh, this is crazy.’ And then at our final meeting, we counted $7,000. It really felt great that it was such a success,” David said. “It was a sense of accomplishment and relief at the same time, knowing everything went well.”
