For nearly three decades, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been serving families with seriously ill children by providing a home-away-from-home at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. Each night over 200 people spend the night in RMCH, many of these families are in desperate situations with children who are very ill and undergoing treatment at Nationwide Children's Hospital which is located directly across the street. Often these children and families spend countless hours waiting nervously between treatments and testing with not much to do to pass the time. Fairytale Wishes would like to help fill this time by providing NEW board games for these families. We NEED your help! Our goal is 1000 NEW board games, of various types for a wide variety of ages. Particular focus is on the 8 and up age appropriate games.

If you would like to involve your family, church, business or organization, please email renee.rose@fairytalewishes.org and we will gladly set you up with all necessary collection materials. If your family would like to make a personal donation of NEW games please contact Renee Rose at 614-477-4760 to schedule a drop-off or a convenient pick-up time. Our collection dates will conclude February 1st with and event at Ronald McDonald House, where Fairytale Wishes volunteers will personally donate all games to the children residing there.

With the holiday sales approaching, now is a great time to consider purchasing an extra game (or two) to be donated!

Check back as we post updated community drop-off locations!
