NEWS AND EVENTS

Preparing for a challenging future means we need YOU.

Hosting an average of 170 families a year is costly. While we actively pursue grants and receive assistance from multiple community partners, we’re tasked with raising a large portion of operating funding locally. We encourage you to explore some of our events to help us continue our ability to keep families close to their hospitalized children.

All Year: The Power of $10

You can make a difference today with a simple, monthly recurring donation of $10. Every amount adds up, and every $10 we receive represents one night for a family who just want to see their child happy and healthy. By making the simple decision today to donate every month through the Power of $10, you’ll sponsor a family’s night at our House once every 30 days. It’s a simple way to give back in our community. Simple, but powerful. Just click “Make this a monthly donation.”

August 17: Bad Songs for a Good Cause

Turn the weirdest, wildest or worst songs in your memory into something good at our annual night at Greater Nevada Field. For just $10, you can purchase a bad song to be played as members of the Reno Aces and their opposing players go to bat. Donations come back to help support families who need help staying in town while their child is hospitalized.

October 5: The Red Shoe Gala: Oz Couture

Our evening fundraiser returns, and in addition to our red shoes, we’re adding a theme: Oz Couture. Join our supporters for a night of fine dining, family stories and more as we work together to ensure children in area hospitals have their families nearby. Attendees are encouraged to wear Oz-inspired evening wear and, of course, red shoes.

Don’t wait for an event to make a difference… 

When you put your change in the donation boxes at any local McDonald’s restaurant, that money comes directly to the Reno Ronald McDonald House. Last year, we received more than $101,483 from McDonald’s donation boxes. The spare change hiding in your sofa, car and even your piggy banks can make a big difference to the families staying at our House!

You don’t have to wait for November or December to give. We hope you’ll consider the Reno Ronald McDonald House all year long as provide a home-away-from-home for families with a child in area hospitals. Donations are 100 percent tax deductible and will help families in northern Nevada and California heal together. Please know we appreciate any and all donations.

Do you have a connection to Ronald McDonald House Charities? Perhaps you stayed at a House previously or  know someone who was able to be with their child because of a Ronald McDonald House in their area. Show your support by hosting your own fundraiser to benefit the Reno House. To explore ideas, email info@rmhc-reno.org or fill out our Third Party Event Packet.
