Ruth's Chris Steak House Benefit for Cheryl Hodges

Ruth’s Chris Steak House at Silver Shells Resort in Destin invites the community, loyal patrons and guests to the Cheryl Hodges Benefit on June 20, 2016, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Courtyard.
 
A tenured employee and integral party of the of Ruth’s Chris Steak House family, Cheryl Hodges was diagnosed with high grade, Stage 2 Bladder Cancer. Having recently undergone her first surgery on June 23, the true battle will begin shortly for Cheryl as she prepares for her intensive chemotherapy treatments. As bladder cancer is a notoriously reoccurring disease, Cheryl will have multiple appointments, follow ups, and expensive prescriptions.
 
The money donated will be used to pay for medical expenses and to help the mother of two with daily living expenses. Cheryl’s oldest daughter, Jordan, recently graduated from the University of Central Florida and has joined Ruth’s Chris for the summer to spend time with her family. Roberta is attending college locally while juggling two jobs.
 
“Cheryl always greets guests with an open heart and has always been there to help anyone who needed it,” said Mike Sable, Ruth’s Chris General Manager. “Now it’s our turn to rally around Cheryl and help her in her time of need. Despite her own reputed generosity, Cheryl has never asked for anyone's help before and she is not asking for it now. We, as a Ruth Chris family, are inviting you for a fun-filled evening of giving and gratitude in the interest of helping a woman we have grown to respect and love tremendously.”
 
The Cheryl Hodges Benefit is free to attend and open to the public. Guests are invited to stop by and meet Cheryl and her family, enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and live music by National Recording Artist Michael J. Thomas. Donations will be accepted throughout the night. For those who cannot attend, a GoFundMe account has been created and donations can be made at https://www.gofundme.com/wefightforcheryl. Donations may also be dropped off at Ruth’s Chris, 15000 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin, FL 32541.
