Dillard's, Inc. (DDS-NYSE) ("Dillard's or "the Company") announced today that it will make a significant contribution of over $76,000 to Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC(R)). This donation was made possible through the sale of Dillard's exclusive holiday CDs entitled Give a Little, Get a Lot.
In recognition of the varied musical tastes of its customers, the retailer produced two versions of the CD; one version featured country artists such as LeAnn Rimes and Randy Travis and another CD had renditions of Christmas favorites by contemporary artists such as Jewel and Tyler Hilton. Profits from those sales were earmarked to benefit Ronald McDonald Houses serving local communities in which Dillard's operates.
With this year's contribution, Dillard's has now donated over $3.8 million to Ronald McDonald Houses over the past 14 years. Denise Mahaffy, Vice President of Advertising for Dillard's, said, "Our long-standing commitment to Ronald McDonald House Charities and the support we lend to the good work the Houses do in our communities continues to be a source of pride for everyone at Dillard's."
Marty Coyne, Vice-President of Ronald McDonald House Charities, said, "Once again we are thankful to Dillard's for its steadfast support of Ronald McDonald House Charities over these many years. It is corporate sponsors like Dillard's that provide the invaluable help we need to fund our work helping families during those difficult days and nights when their seriously ill children are receiving medical care in hospitals away from home."
