Ameris Bank is proud to announce its title sponsorship of the 2016 Wine, Women & Shoes, an annual charity benefit hosted by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Coastal Empire. In its third year, Wine, Women & Shoes raises funds and awareness for families served by the Ronald McDonald House. All proceeds from the event directly benefit the families of critically ill and hospitalized children in Savannah, allowing them to remain nearby when faced with a child’s medical crisis.

In 2015, RMHC provided 4,170 night stays and served over 285 families. Their family rooms located within The Children’s Hospital at Memorial and on the St. Joseph Candler Hospital campus, served an additional 3,000 families. Now in its third year, Wine, Women & Shoes has raised almost $200,000 to support programs initiated by RMHC.

“Ameris Bank is honored to be aligned with such a worthy mission,” said Greater Savannah Market President Austen Carroll. “We have supported this event since its establishment and are continually impressed by this organization’s commitment to families within our region.”
