Wishlist Wednesday is here! ☕💛

Sometimes, it’s the little comforts that make the biggest difference. For families spending long days at the hospital, a warm cup of coffee can offer a much-needed moment to pause, recharge, and feel a little more at home. Individual coffee creamers help make that cup of coffee even more comforting!

Want to help? We’re looking to keep our coffee station stocked for the families who need it most. Shop our Amazon Wishlist through the link in our bio! 🛒

🏓 What a rally! 💙

Thanks to our incredible community, this year’s Rally for the House raised over $44,000 for Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor families! We had an absolute blast bringing people together for a day of pickleball, friendly competition, and meaningful impact.
One of the best parts of the day was welcoming so many past and current Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor families to join in the fun! This year, we also introduced a pro pickleball demonstration alongside our fan-favorite Learn to Play courts, thanks to the amazing staff at Wolverine Pickleball. From watching the pros in action to picking up a paddle for the first time, there was something for everyone to enjoy!

A huge THANK YOU to our Red Shoe Crew, Dr. John Charpie, all of our generous sponsors, oursupportive in-kind sponsors, dedicated volunteers, and everyone who attended and made this event such a success. Your support helps ensure families can stay close to their children when they need it most.

Together, we rallied for our families and showed up for Team Blue in Battle for the Houses presented by Meijer! 💙

New look, same heart.❤️

Our new look first showed up in April with our 14th Annual Red Shoe Affair and has been previewed throughout this year. Now, it’s officially coming to Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor.

While our look has changed, what matters most remains the same: supporting families in our community with the comfort, care and resources they need to stay together.

This refreshed brand identity reflects the sentiment that family is not a visitor, they stick around for the long haul. And here in Ann Arbor, we’re proud to be part of the support system families can count on when they need it most.

With this exciting refresh comes a new way to connect with us! You can now find us online at ronaldmcdonaldhouseannarbor.org and follow along on all social platforms at Ronald McDonald House Ann Arbor. While our look and digital home may be new, our commitment to providing a place for families to stay remains the same.❤️
