Dillard's (NYSE: DDS) is pleased to further its commitment to Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) with their 21st annual holiday fundraiser.

For the seventh time, Dillard's is offering a special custom edition of the Southern Living Christmas Cookbook to benefit RMHC. This exclusive, 288-page hardbound cookbook is filled with more than 200 recipes and dozens of decoration ideas for Christmas plus seasonal gatherings. This "must have" cookbook is available for only $10.

The cookbooks are available now in all Dillard's stores nationwide, as well as online at www.dillards.com. Proceeds from the sale of the cookbooks will benefit Ronald McDonald Houses operated by RMHC Chapters in Dillard's markets.

Today, the Ronald McDonald House program helps more than 8,000 families a night. "Families come to us in a time of great need. Their child has been hospitalized, they are facing finacial burdens, trying to keep their family together, searching for hope and healing," said J.C. Gonzalez-Mendez, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities. "Through the generous support of donors like Dillard's, we're able to open our doors and hearts to these families. We're able to make sure that children get the best medicine of all - their families."



Now in its 21st year of support, Dillard's has raised more than $11.4 million to benefit RMHC. "Our continued relationship with RMHC gives all of us at Dillard's an enormous sense of pride. We look forward to another successful fundraiser this year and are honored to support the Ronald McDonald Houses in our communities," said Denise Mahaffy, vice president of Dillard's.
