The Friends of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Piedmont Triad was formed just two years after our House opened, and plays an integral role in fundraising, community awareness and providing volunteer support to further the mission of the Ronald McDonald House.
The Friends organization oversees two of our annual events: Light a Luminary and the Character Breakfast. Proceeds from membership and all events directly support the operation of the House.
Over the past 30 years, the Friends have donated nearly two million dollars and countless volunteer hours to support the families of RMHCPT.
