2024 Heart of the House Gala

Home / Events / 2024 Heart of the House Gala

What is the Heart of the House Gala?

Heart of the House Gala, presented by Medical Properties Trust, brings RMHCA supporters together for a dynamic night of bidding, food and fun!

Watch the video of the 2022 featured family below.

Your Impact

Each year, the tournament raises an average of $70,000 thanks to the generosity and support of our golf teams and sponsors. This equals 560 nights of comfort, care and kindness for families who use the Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald Family Room at UAB Women & Infants Center.

It costs RMHCA $125 per family, per night to provide our unique hospitality. Families are welcome to make a nominal donation towards their stay but they are never charged for our services or turn away for inability to make that nominal donation.

Our services can only remain free because of caring people like you!
