Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida entered a new chapter of leadership this spring with the appointment of Stevie Doyle as Chief Executive Officer. Since stepping into the role in March 2025, she has already made a dynamic impact, bringing fresh energy, clear vision, and a deep commitment to keeping families with critically ill children together and close to the care they need.
A proud University of Florida graduate and longtime Gainesville resident, Stevie has built her career in nonprofit leadership. She has strengthened organizations through fundraising, strategic growth, and mission-driven service while cultivating lasting community connections. Her dedication to both the region and families in crisis makes her an ideal leader to carry forward the House’s legacy of compassion.
That leadership was on full display this August during her first signature fundraising event for Ronald McDonald House, The Red Shoe Affair. The evening raised more than $470,000 and created new avenues for engagement. Most notably, the Adopt-A-Room program debuted during the live auction. In a single night, 23 guest suites were adopted, each one covering the cost of providing families with a safe, stable place to stay for an entire year while their child undergoes treatment.
Reflecting on her role, Stevie shared, “I am honored to lead an incredible organization that truly impacts the lives of so many going through such difficult times.” With her leadership, Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Central Florida is poised for a future of continued growth and impact.
