Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana will host their annual fundraiser McDazzle, on Saturday, February 19, 2011.  For the second year, the event will also feature “The Lounge at McDazzle,” a cocktail hour and dancing event with a lower ticket price. The events will be held at the Louisville Marriott Downtown, located at 280 W. Jefferson St.

McDazzle, presented by The Carriage House Companies, serves as the largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana and features cocktails, both silent and live auctions, dinner and dancing with live music. This, That and The Other will provide this year’s entertainment.

The Lounge, which is sponsored by Heaven Hill Distilleries, will feature a variety of specialty cocktails, snacks provided by McDonald’s and dancing. A lesser ticket price, just $55 per person, will allow those with a smaller budget to help out a great cause.
