We all know him- the heart and soul and master chef of our beloved Dixie Quicks- Rene Orduna. Rene has recently been diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer and is currently bravely battling for his life with his husband, Rob Gilmer at his side. Rene will be traveling to the Mayo Clinic soon for life saving care. We are raising money to help with their extensive medical expenses, travel, medication, and the toll the illness is taking on their ability to work at the restaurant. We have all been touched in so many ways by Rob and Rene's continuing generousity, support of the arts, love of humanity, and family. They've loved and supported us throughout the years, and now they need OUR love and support. Let's show them how much we love them!!!!!
