Telethon

Thank you for your support of our annual Telethon! The telethon is a four-hour prime time telecast on WTVC-Newschannel 9. It is part of Ronald McDonald House Charities Annual Share a Night Campaign which asks supporters to donate in $55 increments to help pay for a family’s night stay at  Ronald McDonald House. 

It cost Ronald McDonald House Charities $55 per night for each family’s night stay.  Families are asked to make a $10 donation to help offset some of the expenses however, nearly 50% of the families are unable to afford this nominal contribution. No family is ever turned away because of an inability to make the requested donation.  The average stay for families at Ronald McDonald House is 15 days. Share-A-Night contributions make it possible for families to stay at Ronald McDonald House regardless of their financial situation.
