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.”

June 1: The 33rd Annual RMHC Golf Tournament

Join us once again at the lauded Red Hawk and Golf Resort for a day on the links that will help families who find themselves in need of our House. Bring your friends or rope your company into a sponsorship to have a direct impact in the community while you enjoy good weather, gorgeous scenery and a game for a good cause.

June 9: The 5th Annual Rip City Riders Summer Charity Ride

The Rip City Riders are taking their wheels out once again to help us keep families close. Join the riders on June 9 at the Grand Sierra Resort for a ride and poker run, followed by a barbeque at the Lucky Beaver. Registration takes place at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 9, at the Grand Sierra Resort, $25 for riders (including lunch and poker hand). The barbeque lunch is open to all for $15. Raffle tickets will be sold for a 50/50 prize and separate raffle tickets will be sold for a rebuilt 1985 FXRP model Harley Davidson.

June 27: Yelp’s Home Away from Home benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern Nevada

The most vibrant block party in town returns to the Regency at Damonte Ranch model home park on June 27, 2018.

Stay tuned for registration information to come.

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.

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.
