//////// every year in may the red racoon boutique in rockville hosts a fashion show.

This year that event looked different due to covid-19.

In early august the fashion show was online.

It was a live stream live purchase event.

That meant whatever you saw on the model during the show...you could buy it right then and there.

A portion of the proceeds went to the ronald mcdonald house.

The ronald mcdonald house offers families who have sick children a place to stay...free of charge.

They give shelter and food to the families...so they are able to focus on their sick loved ones health.

One of the owners of the family boutique says she was shocked with how much money they were able to raise.

"if we could donate up to a thousand dollars that would be amazing.

Nothing will ever repay what they were able to do for us, but i was completely blown away with being able to donate over 5,000."

The ronald mcdonald house helped the divine family through a very difficult time in their lives.

This is why the red racoon boutique wanted to give back in a very special way.

Now coming up for you tonight at the top of the hour...i'll tell you how the ronald mcdonald house personally helped the divine family.

//////// you can help donate..
