The Conspirator Casting Director Tona Dahlquist and the community service group Extra Hands will be collecting much needed items for the Ronald McDonald House Friday July 23, 2010 and Saturday July 24, 2010.
Ms. Dahlquist is no stranger to the coastal areas having worked on such films as The “Conspirator”, “Forrest Gump”, “Radio” and “Dear John.” “I truly enjoyed my time in Savannah while filming the Conspirator. Everyone was so kind and supportive. We felt it was important to return and give back to a city that gave us so much. The Ronald House Charities of the Coastal Empire is a wonderful and
deserving organization we are proud to assist.” states Dahlquist
The Ronald McDonald House serves as a “Home away from home” for families with critically ill or injured children receiving treatment at area hospitals.
