Many area groups contribute to the continued operation of the House by conducting their own fundraising initiatives.




Some people choose to celebrate a special holiday or honor a friend or family member by giving a donation to Ronald McDonald House.

Here are some ideas that people have come up with in the past:

• When celebrating a birthday, ask guests to donate a wish list item or make a monetary donation in lieu of a gift.  It’s a special way to honor someone you care about.

• Collect wish-list items instead of having “Secret Santas” at the office during the holidays.

• In lieu of wedding favors, prepare a special poem with a note sharing that a special donation has been made by the bride and groom in honor of the wedding guests.

Charlie and Cora Venishel play Santa and Mrs. Claus at their home, 100 Henderson Drive, Penfield. They gave tours for five days to benefit Ronald McDonald House and made a donation of $1,733 in December. Thank you Charlie, Cora, family and friends for thinking of us each year at this very busy time.
