2025 COMMUNITY SUMMER ACTIVITIES
The Ronald McDonald House is hosting the 5th Annual Ashton’s Football Camp this summer. This event honors the memory of Ashton Adams, a young boy from Eau Claire who was hospitalized at Marshfield Children’s Hospital. Tragically, Ashton passed away from a rare form of brain and spinal cancer. The camp also supports the families served at the Ronald McDonald House of Marshfield. The camp is scheduled for July 30th, 2025, at the new indoor UW Eau Claire Sonnentag Center. It’s designed for kids in grades 2-8 to improve their football skills while honoring Ashton’s legacy. This is a wonderful opportunity for local communities to come together for a meaningful cause.
