Fun Facts: 

It all started in Pennsylvania.
The world’s first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia in 1974 after the Philadelphia Eagles, pediatric oncologist Dr. Audrey Evans, the Hill family, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and local McDonald’s Owner/Operators came together to help families stay close to their hospitalized children. Today, there are 394 Ronald McDonald House programs worldwide. Ronald McDonald House Central PA joined the movement just 10 years later, opening in Hershey in 1984.

Shamrock Shakes helped make Ronald McDonald House history.
Early fundraising tied to McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes helped support the opening of the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia. Today, the annual Shamrock Shake season continues to support Ronald McDonald House programs and families.

Your spare change can make a difference.
When you choose to Round-Up for Ronald McDonald House at participating McDonald’s restaurants, those extra cents help support our programs. Small change adds up to meaningful support for families with children receiving medical care.

We’re more than a House.
Ronald McDonald House Central PA supports families beyond our 36-room House in Hershey. Our programs also include the Ronald McDonald House Family Room at Penn State Health Golisano Children’s Hospital, Hospitality Kiosks at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital and at UPMC Harrisburg, and Cart with a Heart at UPMC Harrisburg, bringing comfort and support closer to families right where they are.
