About the Ronald McDonald House Golf Gala

Join us at Iron Tee Golf in Bettendorf for the Ronald McDonald House Golf Gala, an evening of golf, great food, and fun, all in support of Ronald McDonald House Eastern Iowa & Western Illinois.
Interested in sponsoring?
When you sponsor the Golf Gala, you cover the costs of the evening so every ticket dollar goes straight to supporting families. The 2026 Golf Gala raised more than $50,000 for families in our community. We’d love to talk with you about getting involved.
Thank you to our 2026 Golf Gala sponsors!
