Truly special experiences that go above and beyond.

We endeavor to provide our patients, siblings, and caregivers with truly memorable experiences at Ronald McDonald House New York. We created special programs like Great Days to do just that. Through the Great Days program, we bring families on incredible donated trips in New York City and beyond. These trips allow all patients, siblings, and caregivers—regardless of age or background— to get out of the House, forget about the hospital, and make long-lasting, happy memories together.

Throughout the year, our families can spend Great Days together on private museum tours, kayaking on the Hudson River, visiting local landmarks, crafting at The Craft Studio, or making edible cookie dough at DO Cookie Dough Confections. They can take in Mets games at Citi Field in the comfort and safety of a private box suite, join us for private, pre-release movie screenings, or take in the city on a private yacht. Among the most beloved Great Days we offer are beautiful summer days spent at private beach and country clubs, where children swim and caregivers finally find the time to relax. These days are not only treasured, but incredibly transformative. All of these Great Days are generously donated by the locations and groups we visit.
