Miami, FL – November 4, 2021 – After having to cancel last year’s event due to the pandemic, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of South Florida celebrated its 28th Twelve Good Men Luncheon at the Coral Gables Country Club on November 4, where WPLG anchor Calvin Hughes served as the master of ceremonies for the sixth consecutive time. More than 300 movers and shakers from the South Florida community gathered to pay tribute to the hand-picked 2021 honorees in a sold-out celebration, raising around $95,000 to benefit the children and families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Miami.
