Shop local and buy handmade, while helping other. Keith and Wanda Davenport, owners of IBD Promotions, select a different charity to support at each of their five art and craft shows each year. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC-KC) made an impact on them when their twin granddaughters were prematurely born. They are grateful for the support their family received and want to give back. On December 1st and 2nd, IBD Promotions will host a donation area for RMHC-KC at their ‘Tis the Season Art & Craft Show at the Pavilion at John Knox Village in Lee’s Summit. Vendors and customers will have the opportunity to donate gifts or financial donations to support the families who have to stay at the RMHC-KC while their children are healing.
