Ronald McDonald House® Mid-Missouri announced a new branding identity ahead of the annual Day of Change celebration on Thursday, October 15, 2026. The new logo and “Family Stays” tagline reflect the changes adopted by Ronald McDonald House® Global last fall.
“We’ve made a few changes to our look, but we remain true to putting families at the heart of care,” said Terri Gray, executive director of Ronald McDonald House Mid-Missouri. “We’re both honoring our roots and reaffirming our vision that every family has what they need to ensure the best health outcomes for their children.”
In addition to celebrating the opening of the very first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia on October 15, 1974, Day of Change recognizes the long-standing partnership with McDonald’s.
Through the Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House, McDonald’s customers can round their total up to the nearest dollar. Additionally, local McDonald’s owner/operators donate a penny from each pound of fries and Happy Meals sold to the Ronald McDonald House. Customers can also donate $1, $3, or $5 via the McDonald’s app.
“Day of Change is an opportunity to remind the community that by rounding their McDonald’s order up to the nearest dollar, they are helping families stay close to their sick children,” said director of development, Steffanee Richardson. Year to date, McDonald’s restaurants and their customers have raised over $300,000 in support of Ronald McDonald House Mid-Missouri.
