Host a fundraiser

Want to turn something you already love doing into something that helps families? Host a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House South Dakota.

From bake sales and golf tournaments to workplace fundraisers, community events and creative ideas all your own, third-party fundraisers give people a way to come together and make a difference for families facing a child’s medical care far from home.

A few ideas to get you started:

  • Workplace challenge. Challenge your office to hit a fundraising goal, then celebrate with a jeans day, pizza party, or after-work social.
  • Bake sale or lemonade stand. A classic for a reason. Great for kids, classrooms, or neighborhood groups.
  • Car wash. Round up some friends, a hose, and a good location.
  • Tournament. Organize a golf, pickleball, kickball, or cornhole tournament and donate the entry fees.
  • Game night or trivia night. Host it at your workplace, church, or favorite local spot.
  • Birthday fundraiser. Ask friends and family to donate instead of giving gifts. Facebook makes this easy to set up.
  • Restaurant give-back night. Many restaurants offer a night where a portion of sales comes back to a cause. Ask your favorite local spot if they’d like to partner.
  • Penny wars or coin drive. A friendly, low-cost competition for schools or offices.
  • Matching challenge. If your business is running a fundraiser, offer to match donations up to a set amount to double the impact.
