Since the Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor opened in 1985, volunteers
have been central to its success. Whether assisting families in carrying
on their routines of daily living, working on the maintenance of the building
or helping out with a fundraiser, they are ultimately contributing to
the recovery and good health of hospitalized children. Read on to find
out more about how you can help sustain our "home away from home."
Thomas E. Ericson, President
Board of Directors
Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor depends upon support from the community,
volunteers and businesses to provide families the comfort and togetherness
they need during trying times.
In order to do this, the House relies on private initiatives for its continuing
operation. Roughly 80 percent of the funds necessary to operate this loving
House come from generous donations from individuals, groups and businesses.
The Ronald McDonald House of
Ann Arbor is an independent non-profit charity with its own Board of Directors.
The Board consists of Ann Arbor community leaders, hospital employees,
McDonald's operators and other members of the community and manages the
funds that support House operations.
Besides financial support, the House depends upon volunteers for important
house operations and fundraising activities. Volunteers give countless
hours by serving on committees, assisting in special event planning and
working directly with families to meet their needs. Community groups also
volunteer to cook meals for the families or assist with house maintenance.
The generosity of our volunteers and friends helps families stay together
when they need each other the most.
Introducing
the Pillars of the House Society
We are pleased to introduce a new recognition society for donors who make
a planned gift to the Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor. The Pillars
of the House Society will recognize donors who decide to invest in the
future of our House with a planned gift of an IRA, Charitable Lead Trust,
Charitable Remainder Trust, Remainder Interest in Residence, Life Insurance
or via your Will. (For more information
on Planned Giving, click here.)
A donation to the Society would be recognized by prominently displaying
your name on the Pillars of the House Donor Wall to show our heartfelt
appreciation and to encourage others to include Ronald McDonald House
in their estate plans.
We hope you will consider making
an investment in the future of the Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor.
To request a packet with planned giving opportunities or if you have questions,
please call Catherine Pappas, Director of Development & Community
Relations at 734-994-4442 or email at cpappas@rmh-annarbor.org.
