How to use apostrophies in Surname to make plural?

I am hosting a benefit fundraiser for a family. Their last name is Ferguson. The name of the Benefit is "Families for Fergusons". So do I write it just like that? or is there supposed to be an apostrophy before the -s? I've been told both ways and I don't know which is the correct way. Help! Hundred of flyers, shirts, emails, brochures, etc are soon to be printed with this event name.

Thank you!
