What To Know Before You Go
What to Expect:
We’re celebrating 35 years of Ronald McDonald House Charities West Michigan, honoring the families we serve and the community that makes our mission possible. This is more than a fundraiser—it’s a powerful evening of storytelling, inspiration, and a look ahead at the next 35 years of keeping families close.
This will be a formal dinner with a strolling format—there are no assigned seats, but plenty of space for you to make yourself comfortable throughout the evening.
Evening Schedule:
- 6:00 PM – Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres
- 6:30 PM – Strolling Dinner
- 7:15 PM – Program
- 8:00 PM – Musical Performance by Brian Vander Ark
Check-In Details:
To help check-in go smoothly, please have your e-ticket ready when you arrive.
You can show it on your phone or bring a printed copy.
All e-tickets were delivered via email. If you haven’t received yours, please contact: Haley Marcos at hmarcos@rmhcwm.org or 616-258-5727.
Fundraising Goal:
We’ll be fundraising throughout the evening with a goal to raise $25,000 to support families with hospitalized children.
A generous anonymous donor has stepped up with a $10,000 matching challenge—so if we raise $10,000, they’ll match it to bring us to $20,000!
Every gift makes a difference—and every dollar counts double.
