Room Sponsorship

Sponsor a room at a House for a family in need.

The Room Sponsorship Program provides the opportunity for individuals, corporations and foundations to play a vital support role in the lives of families whose children are receiving treatment at area medical centers.

Families staying at our 53-family Cleveland or 42-family Akron Ronald McDonald House experience a sense of comfort, normalcy, comradery and compassion that helps them remain strong for their children. Spacious private rooms, beautiful common areas, daily meals and other amenities ease their stress and financial burdens, allowing them to focus on their children’s care.

What Your Room Sponsorship Means to Families

• It costs about $100 per night to provide our services to each family, but we rely on donations to cover these costs.
• Many guests choose to support ongoing operations by making a donation.
• A suggested donation is $20 per night, but any amount helps us continue operations for future guests.
• Each year, about half of the families who stay with us are unable to donate. Your room sponsorship helps ensure that we can continue to serve all families who need us, regardless of their financial situation.

No family has ever been, or will ever be, turned away due to inability to contribute.

Annual Guest Room Sponsorships

You can sponsor a room at the Akron or Cleveland Ronald McDonald House for $5,000 per year. In addition to the knowledge that you are helping to provide crucial support to families during difficult times, your gift is commemorated with:

• Signage / plaque at the entrance to your sponsored room, featuring your individual/company/foundation name
• Recognition in the annual impact report, social media, e-newsletter and on the website of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Northeast Ohio
• Quarterly correspondence illustrating the impact of your gift

To discuss this opportunity, please contact Aristea Tzouloufis, Chief Development Officer, at 330-253-5400 x1109 or atzouloufis@rmhcneo.org.

Permanent Guest Room Sponsorship

For individuals, groups, corporations or foundations desiring to make a significant gift to support families on an ongoing basis, Permanent Room Sponsorships are available. Your $50,000 donation allows families staying in your room to know they have your steadfast support in their greatest hours of need. Families for years to come will feel it every time they see your plaque outside their door. In addition to the benefits of annual room sponsorship, permanent room sponsors are recognized with a larger, permanent plaque and honored in selected events.

Naming opportunities for common area and selected programs are available for those who wish to leave a legacy.

To discuss options, please contact:

• Aristea Tzouloufis, Chief Development Officer at atzouloufis@rmhcneo.org or (330) 253-5400 x1109
