Event Details: The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Corpus Christi will host the 8th Annual, Casa De Amor, Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at American Bank Center.

Chaired by State Representative Todd Hunter and wife, Alexis. Honoring Tony and Yolanda Canales.

This year will feature guest speaker, Jenna Bush Hager - NBC's Today Show Correspondent, Global Children's Advocate, and Best Selling Author.

Jenna Hager has seen first-hand how small change can make a large difference in a single life. Currently the chair of UNICEF's Next Generation, an initiative dedicated to reducing the number of preventable childhood deaths around the world, Hager traveled throughout Latin America and the Caribbean with UNICEF where she saw first-hand the plight faced by the underprivileged. Her experience inspired her to write Ana's Story: A Journey of Hope, a New York Times best-seller based on the life of a 17-year-old single mother living with HIV and determined to shield her child from the abuse and neglect that riddled her own childhood. Hager shares her own stories of creating change in someone's life and leaves audiences with a call to action on how they too can improve people's lives in their own community. A contributing correspondent for NBC's Today, Hager shares positive, uplifting messages of regular people doing extraordinary things. Passionate about literacy, education and improving inner-city schools, Hager is herself a teacher in Baltimore, MD. In addition to Ana's Story, she also co-wrote Read All About It with her mother, former First Lady Laura Bush.
