Laughter That Makes a Difference
For the 1,000 hospitalized families who call Ronald McDonald House home, the funds raised here will directly support their care, comfort and overnight needs. In addition to the 1,000 annual family residents at Ronald McDonald House, we also provide respite, meals, and hospitality in-hospital through the Hospitality Cart and Ronald McDonald Family Room programs.
Though this event has come to a close, its impact will continue to be felt through the families supported by Ronald McDonald House. To learn more about upcoming events and sponsorships, visit rmhcnym.org
