Host a Fundraiser

Raise support for families with sick children

Not everyone has the ability to write a check that’s as big as their love for RMHC Ann Arbor, but everyone can contribute their time and talent to make a difference for families who are caring for critically ill children. One fun and effective way to is to hold your very own fundraiser.

Hosting your own fundraiser allows you the opportunity to share a message of hope about Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor while raising support for the families we serve.  Anyone can host a fundraiser: an individual, family, group of friends, school, company, or community group!

Every dollar raised goes towards helping to provide our families with a warm meal, a comfortable bed, a hot shower, and a sense of hope.  There are a number of ways to host a community fundraiser, both virtually and in-person.

Here are just few in-person ideas:

  • Pop tab collection at a special event – Learn More about Pop Tabs
  • A run or walk
  • Car wash
  • Golf outing
  • A cooking/baking competition
  • Dance marathon
    Bike-a-thon

Virtual fundraising ideas include:

  • Zoom house parties
  • Virtual run or walk
  • Zoom bingo or trivia contest
