Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana

Join us as we celebrate the McDonald's crew at 3120 S. Dixie Blvd. in Radcliff for leading the way in 2024 with their Round-Up efforts! Thanks to their dedication and the generosity of the community, they raised an incredible $39,920 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kentuckiana—the most in the region.

??Only 5 days until one of our favorite nights of the year—the Red Tie Gala! We are so excited to have the Pruden family share their story with us. Their son, Jerome, arrived early—at just 27 weeks—on March 15, 2020, right before the world shut down due to COVID-19. The Prudens were one of the few families who stayed at our House during the pandemic, spending 167 days with us. Far from home and overwhelmed by the unknown, his parents found more than a place to stay—they discovered a community that surrounded them with comfort, care, and hope. ???? Your support makes it possible for families like the Prudens to stay together when they need it most.
