onald McDonald House Charities
of San Diego’s annual ROMP Gala
transformed the Fairmont Grand Del
Mar into a magical garden complete
with fanciful frogs and dragonflies
milling about the guests! ROMP supporters helped
foster the magic of togetherness and hope for families
with critically ill children. Since its founding in 2010
by Mary and Hudson Drake, ROMP has made an
immeasurable difference to help provide a home away
from home for families with children in the hospital.
