The 2024 Ronald McDonald House McGala raised $620,000 to support the organization’s mission of aiding families whose children are undergoing medical treatment.
Held May 11 at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa, the annual event featured a touching story from the Rodriguez Family featuring 8-year-old Sophia. Other highlights included a history wall, live entertainment, auctions and a red wagon tribute.
Proceeds from the event will enable the Jacksonville Ronald McDonald House to continue providing lodging, transportation, meals and a supportive environment so that families can focus on the health and well-being of their children.
“The success of this year’s McGala is a testament to the incredible compassion and commitment of our supporters,” said Joey Leik, CEO of Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Jacksonville. “Funds raised go toward providing comfort, care and a sense of normalcy to families during one of the most challenging times of their lives. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this night a success.”
