Hearts of Gold


Help Families Heal Better Together.


For families with a child receiving medical care, the holidays rarely look the way they imagined. Instead of gathering around their own table or decorating their own home, many spend the season in hospital rooms, waiting areas, and beside their child's bedside. At Ronald McDonald House® Greater Chattanooga, they find something just as meaningful: a welcoming place to rest, celebrate, and remain close to the care their child needs.

About Hearts of Gold

This year's Hearts of Gold Ornament features our Ronald McDonald House adorned for the Christmas season—a symbol of the hope, comfort, and community families discover within these walls. For more than 35 years, our House has removed the cost of staying near the hospital, giving families warm meals, peaceful nights of rest, and the reassurance of staying just steps away from their child.


Each Hearts of Gold Ornament helps provide the essential services families rely on throughout their medical journey, including our Ronald McDonald House, Ronald McDonald House® Family Room, and Ronald McDonald House: House to Home programs. Every purchase helps ensure that no family has to choose between staying close to their child and the comforts of home.


More than a holiday keepsake, your ornament is a reminder that, because of your generosity, families can experience hope, compassion, and the warmth of home—even during life's most difficult season.
