Since 2000, recycling the little aluminum tabs from soda cans has generated nearly $400,000 for our Ronald McDonald House®.

Families from all over the world seek evidence-based treatment at Rogers Behavioral Health and for over a decade, many of these families have called our Ronald McDonald House® “home.” In August 2021, we proudly opened our first Ronald McDonald Family Room located on the Rogers Behavioral Health campus in Oconomowoc. Our Family Room is the second in the world to exclusively…
On Saturday, October 8th, we celebrated our dedicated volunteers at this year’s Volunteer Appreciation event. Our team of more than 350 volunteers continues to support our House and families in indescribable ways.

Felipe and his mother at a black-tie, biker-themed fundraising dinner for the House when he was fourteen. We love hearing stories from former guests about their experiences at our Ronald McDonald House. No matter how long ago the stay might have been, it’s humbling to learn about the lasting impact our mission has on families. Recently, Felipe Millán shared…
