More Than a Raffle: How Your Ticket Changes Lives

For over 20 years, our raffles have changed thousands of lives from prize winners to families that have benefited from the generosity and support of community members like you. The impact has been great.

All raffle proceeds benefit our San Diego Ronald McDonald House, providing essential funding so meals, programs, services, and lodging are always offers at no-cost to families with a hospitalized child enduring one of life’s toughest times.

However, the need is greater than ever. Each year, we serve more than 15,000 guests but each night, there remain more than 60 families on our waitlist. Your support and participation in the Giving Back Raffle enables us to fulfill our missing of providing a “home away from home” for as many families as possible. We cannot do it without your support.

Together, we can ensure these families have everything they need, every step of the way.

About Our San Diego Ronald McDonald House

Founded in 1980, San Diego Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-away-from-home” to keep families close to one another, and close to the care they need when their child is being treated for serious, often life-threatening conditions.

Located just 300 steps from the children’s hospital, our facility provides the necessities of home to help strengthen families and bolster their psychological well-being during difficult times. It is the only service of its kind that is open to families caring for children at any San Diego area hospital.

Thanks to an active volunteer program and generous community support, each year approximately:

• 600 families reside with us during their child’s hospitalization.
• 14,000 additional people use our Family Care Center, coming for meals, computer access, and other essential resources.
• 250,000 freshly prepared meals are served free of charge to family members with hospital identification, with the assistance of more than 380 volunteer groups.
• 100 siblings of hospitalized children take part in education and enrichment programs, including the onsite School Away from School.

Volunteerism, in-kind donations, and participation through events like the San Diego Giving Back Raffle represent the very best our community has to offer - coming together for a common cause to make a difference for those who need it most.
