Plan a Fundraiser

Do you have an idea for a fundraising event or activity?

The Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill welcomes the support of individuals and organizations in helping provide funds for the operation of the House.  We are truly grateful for your support and enthusiasm!  

Following are some general guidelines to help you plan, organize and host a successful fundraiser: 

  • As this home is dedicated to families and children, your group should choose an event that is appropriate to family tastes
  • Set a realistic goal - clearly communicate your goal when asking friends and family to help
  • Complete our Agreement Form for Fundraising Events/Projects, and submit it to Elizabeth Hullender, Marketing and Special Events Manager, for approval
  • Consider the venue - perhaps your church, home or neighborhood park where you know people and are familiar with the environment

Some fun ideas for fundraising might be:

  • Sports Events (5K run, Swim-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, walk-a-thon, triathlons, dance marathon, golf tournament, dodge ball competition)
  • Bake sale, lemonade stand or dinner event (Waffle Night, BBQ Dinners, etc.)
  • Yard sale 
  • Car wash
  • Ask for donations to Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill in lieu of birthday or wedding gifts
