The mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts is to provide essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. Together, our vision is a world where every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children. Our purpose is caring for families with children who are ill or injured.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts (RMHC CTMA) has a proud legacy of supporting families with children facing medical challenges. Since its founding, our organization has served as a beacon of hope, providing comfort, care, and a home away from home during families' most difficult times.

You can become a champion for RMHC CTMA families by hosting a third-party fundraising initiative! Third-party fundraisers not only generate vital monetary and in-kind resources for RMHC CTMA programs but also build a network of support, raise awareness, and empower individuals, groups, and corporations to become advocates for the families that call us home.

By organizing and conducting fundraising events on behalf of RMHC CTMA, you can impact the families we serve and become an ambassador for our mission among your family, circle of friends, office group, and community at large. The money you raise from your fundraiser will directly support our families! You will alleviate the costs associated with providing families with everything they need to feel supported during their child’s care.

Your fundraiser can range in size and scale depending on your creativity and resources. No matter the size, all third-party fundraisers help provide RMHC CTMA families with all they require during their stay.

Common third-party fundraising ideas are:

• Dress down/Jeans day

• Bake sale or car wash

• Road races (run, walk, or bike!)

• Peer-to-peer fundraising

These are just a few examples, and the possibilities are endless when it comes to creative ways to raise funds for RMHC CTMA families through third-party initiatives!

Thank you so much for choosing to make a difference for families who are going through their most challenging moments. With your help, we can ensure that they’ll stay together when they need each other the most.
