Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonald’s Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away dives into the story of Joan Kroc, a woman who gave billions away in philanthropic pursuits. Author Lisa Napoli will discuss her inspiration for the book. The event includes a facility tour of the Ronald McDonald House, a box lunch with beverage, and a Q&A with the author.
Ray & Joan is described as “a quintessentially American tale of corporate intrigue and private passion: a struggling Mad Men–era salesman with a vision for a fast-food franchise that would become one of the world’s most enduring brands and a beautiful woman willing to risk her marriage and her reputation to promote controversial causes that touched her deeply.”
