Keeping Families Close: JP Emerson Show and Tampa Cruisers Strengthen Support for RMHC Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay, FL — August 15, 2025 — The Ronald McDonald House Tampa Bay was alive with joy, gratitude, and horsepower as families, supporters, and car enthusiasts came together for a day of hope and healing.

The JP Emerson Show, joined by the Tampa Cruisers and Lake Mirror Classic, brought dazzling cars and heartfelt generosity to children and families staying at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).

From the moment the Cruisers rolled in, their gleaming vehicles became more than just cars—they became symbols of resilience, courage, and community.
“This community reminds us of the true meaning of hope and togetherness,” said Emerson. “The courage of these kids and families inspires us more than words can say. They are heroes, and we are honored to stand with them.”

The highlight of the day was a milestone moment: The JP Emerson Show, The Tampa Cruisers and The Lake Mirror classic proudly presented its largest donation to date, benefiting three Ronald McDonald Houses across the Tampa Bay area.

Ronald McDonald House Charities has long been dedicated to easing the burden for families with children receiving medical care. Their mission, Keeping Families Close, ensures that parents and children can remain together when it matters most.

From the dedicated staff at Ronald McDonald House Tampa and St. Pete, to the families who opened their hearts, and the supporters who give year after year, the day was a celebration of compassion in action.

As Emerson reflected, “This milestone is about the families who will find strength and comfort here. Together, we fight, and together, we heal.”
