Give Back at CONNECT 2026
Stuff a toy animal, share holiday cheer, and make a difference!
Let’s Help Families in Need Together
Join us in supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities at CONNECT 2026. This year, attendees can help create a special gift for children and families who need some extra support this holiday season.
Choose from 12 different stuffed animals, then stuff, dress, and pack your new friend for donation. With almost 1,300 kits ready to be stuffed, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
CSC Gives Back has contributed $20,000 toward supplies for this year’s initiative. We’re also working to raise an additional $5,000 through our peer-to-peer fundraising page. CSC Gives Back will match those contributions dollar for dollar, with a goal of reaching $30,000 in total support.

2. Donate Online
Can’t join us in person? You can still show your support by donating through our peer-to-peer Ronald McDonald House Charities fundraising page.
