RONALD McDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF THE PHILADELPHIA REGION
You Can Support Families of Seriously Ill Children in the RMHC Philadelphia Area
Stories From Our Families
How Our Chapter Got Started
The story of the RMHC Philadelphia began in the 1970s, when Dr. Audrey Evans was working as a pediatric oncologist at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Seeing the families of children who were receiving life-saving treatment spend night after night in the hospital, she envisioned a house where families could stay during these difficult times.
Around the same time, Kim, the daughter of the Philadelphia Eagles’ player Fred Hill, was receiving treatment for leukemia at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and the club was raising funds in her support. Jimmy Murray, the General Manager of the club, approached St. Christopher’s about making a donation.
Acting on Dr. Lawrence Naiman’s suggestion, he met with Dr. Evans and championed her cause. He then reached out to Eagles advertiser McDonald’s and proposed that they could offer Shamrock Shake sales proceeds to help establish the new house. McDonald’s agreed, and on October 15, 1974, the RMHC Philadelphia was born.
The support of generous donors enabled the RMHC Philadelphia to grow from an idea to the model for hundreds of Ronald McDonald Houses around the world.
