The Next Chapter
On Saturday, October 17, 2026, at JW Marriott Parq Vancouver, business leaders, philanthropists, and community champions will gather for our largest event in support of Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon.
When a child is critically ill, everything changes. Families are pulled from their daily lives into uncertainty, separation, and fear. Ronald McDonald House exists to keep families close, providing comfort, community, and a place to call home when they need it most. A Night to Dream Gala is how we help make that possible.
This year we celebrate The Next Chapter, reflecting both our legacy and our future. Inspired by growth, renewal, and possibility, the evening invites guests to unfold in a setting of whimsical gardens and storybook moments, a reminder that even in life’s hardest chapters, hope continues to grow.
Through meaningful moments, shared stories, and opportunities to give, every guest plays a role in what comes next.
For over two decades, A Night to Dream has raised millions to ensure families can stay together during the most difficult chapters of their lives. Because together, we make sure no family faces this alone.

Where Care Lives
When a child is sick, care doesn’t end at the hospital doors.
Families travel hundreds of kilometers for treatment. In those moments, they need more than medicine, they need to stay together.
Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon supports families through the parts of care that medicine alone can’t provide. When treatment takes them far from home, we reduce the burden distance creates, so family can remain close, present, and focused on what matters most.
Through our House in Vancouver and Family Rooms in Kamloops, Surrey, and Prince George, we help stabilize daily life during medical crisis.
Be part of the care that keeps families together.
