Events & Campaigns

There are many ways to join the generous people and organizations that support Ronald McDonald House Missoula throughout the year. 

From unforgettable nights out to seasonal giving opportunities, each event and campaign brings our community together to provide care for families who need to stay close to their hospitalized child.

Holiday Appeal

December 2026

Home and family take on an even deeper meaning during the holidays. For many Ronald McDonald House Missoula families, the season looks different than they imagined as they spend their days at the hospital and their nights away from home.

When you make a meaningful year-end gift through our annual Holiday Appeal, you’ll help provide Family Stays, nourishing meals, everyday essentials and compassionate support for families throughout the year ahead.

Every gift, in every amount, ensures our House is ready when the next family needs us.

Winter Wishes

December 1, 2026 – January 1, 2027

Winter Wishes is our annual holiday supply drive to help keep Ronald McDonald House Missoula stocked with the everyday essentials families rely on during their stay.

Throughout December, shop our Wish Lists or gather friends, coworkers, classmates or family members to collect items like pantry staples, snacks, toiletries, laundry detergent and household supplies.

Together, we can make Ronald McDonald House feel a little more like home for families spending the holidays far from theirs.

Piano Palooza

Spring 2027

Get ready for great music, big laughs and a whole lot of fun! Piano Palooza draws a sellout crowd each spring for a lively evening featuring dueling pianos, favorite songs, audience requests and plenty of unexpected moments along the way.

It’s a chance to gather with friends, enjoy a night out and support Ronald McDonald House Missoula while you’re at it. Come ready to sing along, laugh out loud and raise money for the House while you’re raising your glass!

Christmas in July

July 1 – 31, 2027

Since the middle of summer is always a great time for a little Christmas spirit…

Christmas in July is our annual summer giving drive to replenish the everyday essentials families use throughout their stay at Ronald McDonald House Missoula. Shop our Wish Lists, rally your coworkers and friends, or organize a collection to help provide the food, household items and other essentials families need during their stay. Toilet paper and laundry detergent may not fit everyone’s idea of Christmas presents, but for families spending long days at the hospital, having the everyday things they need waiting for them feels like a gift. 

Bandana Ball

Fall 2027

Dust off your boots and join the festivities at the annual Bandana Ball!

The signature fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House Missoula is one of our favorite nights of the year.

It’s a Western-inspired celebration that brings friends, businesses, community partners and supporters together for an evening filled with great food, unique experiences, live entertainment, heartfelt family stories, plenty of fun – and always a surprise or two!

Most importantly, it’s a night that celebrates the families we serve and the incredible community that surrounds them.
