Little Rock Soirée – A Sure Bet for the Ronald McDonald House
Little Rock Soirée, August 2026
Since the first RMH opened in Little Rock in 1981, the organization has been a “home” for more than 70,000 families whose children were receiving hospital care. There, families receive the comforts of home at no cost while staying close to their child.
“Their compassion goes far beyond simply providing a place to stay,” Michelle says. “The generosity from volunteers and donations allowed us and so many families to focus on what matters most: our child.”
“Our goal is simple,” CEO Janell Mason says. “We know families are stronger when they’re together. When a child is fighting for their life, family isn’t a visitor. Family stays. And we’ll be there to support them every step of the way.”
It’s fundraising events like October’s A Night in Vegas that help RMH provide that support and create meaningful memories like Liam’s for countless families each year.
A more nightlife-centered addition to the organization’s event lineup, A Night in Vegas brings the energy of the Strip to guests with casino games, live entertainment and a cirque flair.
Event chair and longtime supporter Bailey Clark stepped into a leadership role this year with backing from her employers and co-presenting sponsors, Flexion Point and Arkansas Talent Group.
According to Clark, this year’s event will keep the elements guests know and love while introducing a few changes, including a new venue. The Dreamland Ballroom’s new speakeasy space will be the perfect backdrop for the glamorous vintage circus vibes Clark and her team have planned. Think: jazz, baton throwers, table games and tarot card readers.
“This is a great event and is something that called to me because this is one of the few organizations where you can really see dollar for dollar exactly where your money is going,” Clark says. “The money that is raised from this event goes directly to feeding the families that are on site so they don’t have to worry about anything while their child is staying at a local hospital.”
