Events

Each year the Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut puts on various fundraising events to help support the House. These events not only support the House financially, but help to increase the awareness of needs for families and the importance of the work we do.

The Trees of Hope event benefits the House all year long. Volunteers pour a lot of love into the event, knowing how important it is to the financial well being of the House. As the single largest fundraiser of the year, the holiday event provides critically needed resources to support the 400 families who stay at the House each year.

Trees of Hope is a huge undertaking requiring year-round efforts on the part of volunteers and staff. In addition to recruiting community support and organizing the tree display, volunteers staff a Holiday Gift Boutique, put together raffle baskets, solicit ads for a program book, and line up musical entertainment. More than 25 volunteers serve on the committee and additional volunteers help at the event.
