Schools and Organizations

There are so many possibilities for your school or organization to get involved with the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. Below are listed the primary ways most folks like to help us out. However, if you have an idea for how you'd like to partner with us, contact us today at 919-286-9305.


Sport a Shirt, Share a Night Event

Giving back to the Ronald McDonald House of Durham can be as simple as wearing a T-shirt. Sport a Shirt, Share a Night is a one-day fundraiser held in April where your group participates in a casual day and wears a special event shirt.

Sport a Shirt supports the children and families served by all North Carolina Ronald McDonald Houses. Groups purchase event T-shirts for $10 each to create awareness and generate support for the House.  Every shirt sold through the Durham House will benefit the families of critically ill children being treated at Duke Children's Hospital and other area medical care facilities.

Join the thousands of caring people across North Carolina to host a Sport a Shirt event in April at your organization. To find out more about how to participate in this year's Sport a Shirt, contact 919-281-1064 for more information.


Create Your Own Fundraiser

Your imagination is the limit for ways to make a difference at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham. Folks have hosted everything from golf outings, bake sales, spare change donations, lemonade stands, swin-a-thons, wish list drives to piano recitals to benefit the House. If you have a special idea or a unique way that you would like to raise funds for the House, all you need to do is contact us to be pre-approved.  All fundraisers need to go through a simple review process. Contact our Special Events Manager Lindsay Hege at 919-281-1064 or e-mail Lindsay@ronaldhousedurham.org for details.
