Hearts and Hope: A Night of Giving

We are excited to announce Hearts and Hope: A Night of Giving, a prestigious fundraising event hosted by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Idaho Family Room, taking place at the Aero Mark Hangar on Saturday, October 10, 2026. This extraordinary evening will be a memorable celebration of hope and community, featuring a sit-down meal, live music, and an auction inside the hangar with airplanes as our backdrop. Individual and duo tickets are now on sale, so we invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening in support of families who need us most.

Your support of Hearts and Hope helps the RMHC of Idaho Family Room, located inside Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center—steps from the NICU and PICU—remain open at no cost to families. The Family Room provides a refuge where care, comfort, and hope can begin, offering families a place to rest, recharge, and find support while their child receives care at EIRMC.

In 2025, the RMHC Family Room housed 819 families for an average of 9 days, while an additional 4,535 families benefited from our day services. These services include home-cooked meals, snacks, laundry facilities, and comfort and hygiene items, all available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., year-round. These numbers underscore the ongoing need for a welcoming space where families can find comfort and support during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

Your partnership and generosity sustain the supportive relationships that form among families facing similar journeys—a network that helps parents stay focused on their child and find strength in community. Inside the walls of the RMHC Family Room, hope shows up every day through compassionate volunteers, shared experiences, and a tangible sense of belonging.

This night of giving is about more than fundraising. It is about coming together to ensure families can care for their child with stability and dignity, knowing a caring community is close at hand. We hope you’ll join us for Hearts and Hope and be part of an evening that makes a meaningful difference for families in our community.
