Join us for the Heart of the House Gala for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, generosity, and hope.
As Ronald McDonald House Central & Northern Arizona’s largest fundraising event, the Heart of the House Gala, presented by True Group, celebrates the incredible community of supporters who make it possible for families to stay together while their children receive critical medical care. Throughout the evening, we will honor the strength and resilience of our Ronald McDonald House families and recognize the compassion of those who help create a place where family stays.
Contact Special Events Manager Lexi Noble at lnoble@ronaldmcdonaldhousecnaz.org to purchase sponsorships or individual tickets.
This year’s storybook theme, “The Giving Tree”, reflects the many ways the House nurtures and supports families throughout every step of their healthcare journey, made possible through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and volunteers.
Guests will enjoy a hosted cocktail reception, exciting silent and live auctions, live entertainment, and a very special dinner program. Most importantly, every dollar raised directly supports the more than 1,000 families who find comfort, care, and a place to stay each year across our three Valley Houses.
Together, we can ensure that families never have to face a child’s medical journey alone.
5pm: Hosted Cocktail Hour
6:30pm: Dinner Program with Master of Ceremonies, Susan Casper, from Arizona’s Family
Ronald McDonald House Central and Northern Arizona is important to us because family is everything. During some of life’s most difficult moments, the House gives families the ability to stay close to their children, offering comfort, support, and hope when it is needed most. Knowing that families can focus on what truly matters—being together and supporting one another—makes this mission deeply meaningful to us.
We are excited to have you join us at this year’s Heart of the House Gala to celebrate and honor all that supports the place where family stays.
