Our HistoryAt Ronald McDonald House Charities, we owe our continued success to the tireless work of volunteers and the countless contributions from our donors. Because of you, we've been helping improve the lives of children and their families for 35 years.
Here are some of the historic milestones that you have made possible.
1974- The first Ronald McDonald House opens in Philadelphia thanks to Dr. Audrey Evans, Philadelphia Eagles' player Fred Hill (whose daughter, Kim, had leukemia), Jim Murray, the Eagles' general manager and Ed Rensi, the McDonald's regional manager.
- The McDonald's owner/operators in Philadelphia made the House possible, donating proceeds from the sale of Shamrock Shakes.
- Ronald McDonald House Charities is officially established in memory of McDonald's founder Ray Kroc, a strong advocate for children.
