Someone grab the party hats—Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama (RMHCA) is turning 40! To celebrate, they want to raise $40K in four weeks, and they need your help! Find out everything you need to know about the challenge plus ways to contribute during the whole month of June.

RMHCA’s $40K for 40 Years

What began as a 10-bedroom house in Birmingham’s Southside neighborhood in 1979, is now one of Birmingham’s most beloved charities. RMCHA is celebrating 40 years of helping families traveling to Birmingham due to a child’s illness. It’s been more than a roof over their heads and food in their mouths… It’s been peace of mind and a temporary home for so many.

Throughout the month of June, the Ronald McDonald House wants to celebrate those 40 years by raising $40K in four weeks. Follow them on social media (@rmhcalabama) to hear from special guests share why you should give $40 to the cause. They’ll also share special stories and throwback memories—giving followers a look back at some defining moments of the last four decades.

Support and Celebrate at a Birmingham Barons Game

In anticipation of reaching the fundraising goal of $40,000, fans and supporters are invited to Ronald McDonald House Night at the Birmingham Barons on Saturday, June 29. The Barons will auction off a very special baseball jersey to benefit RMHCA. There will be giveaways, and a prize will set up at the front gate while supplies last! Their special guests will be RMHCA families—plus everyone’s favorite: Ronald McDonald himself!

How to Donate

Visit RMHCA.org/40years to donate, or give to their Facebook Fundraiser launching May 31st. Keep up with fundraising progress on their social media channels (@rmhcalabama).
