Kids Kick Paralysis

Let’s give it up to our incredible staff, who truly understand how much RMH means to our families. So many of our team members generously donated to help cover the cost of a one-night stay for families in need. We are beyond grateful for their compassion and support.

Tonight our team came together for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Gala. For those who may not know, our families stay at RMH while traveling to Louisville for therapy. We are incredibly grateful—not only for the support RMH provides our families, but also for the opportunity to attend and celebrate this amazing mission
