The 37th Annual Bandana Ball: Building A Stronger Tomorrow

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas is honored to invite you to our 37th Annual Bandana Ball on Friday, September 18, at the Fairmont Austin. This unforgettable evening will bring together community leaders, dedicated partners, generous supporters, and the families we serve for a celebration filled with Western flair, meaningful connection, and powerful impact.

Guests will enjoy a curated three-course dinner, complimentary beverages, and dynamic live and silent auctions, all in support of families with children receiving lifesaving medical care. Proceeds from Bandana Ball provide critical funding that allows our Ronald McDonald House to offer free, compassionate, family-centered care to every family who walks through our doors.

We invite you to make an impact by securing a sponsorship, purchasing tickets, or donating a one-of-a-kind auction item. Your participation helps ensure families can focus on what matters most: their child’s health and healing.
