The money was raised at the magazines second annual Wine, Dine and Donate fundraiser held over the weekend.

The Ronald McDonald House says the money will go toward helping Ronald McDonald House families whose children are in the hospital.

The charity provides a home-away-from-home for the families of seriously ill children staying in Mercy and Freeman Hospitals.
