Since 2014, Division of Oncology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has donated over $65,000 to support almost 4,000 nights of lodging at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House. We would like to match our contribution from last year and raise $10,000 to support two rooms in 2024. Your donations go a long way to keep the vision of supporting whole families and keeping families together. The needs of families dealing with sick children go far beyond medical care. Adopt-a-room helps provide a “home away from home” for our families to let our patients focus on getting better in the best environment, surrounded by the best care teams. We are truly grateful for your generosity.
About Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region
Our Mission and Vision
Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) of the Philadelphia Region supports families on their children’s medical journeys with a community of comfort and hope. We envision a world where every family can focus on their child’s well-being.
Core Programs
Our two Ronald McDonald House® programs provide temporary lodging, transportation, meals, and social services to families who travel to Philadelphia for pediatric care. Our three Ronald McDonald Family Room® programs extend the support of our Houses into the hospital setting and offer a quiet respite space for families at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Ronald McDonald Camp is a week-long overnight camp for children with cancer and their siblings held in the Pocono Mountains every August. The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, operated in partnership with St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children, provides comprehensive and continuous oral healthcare to children in North Philadelphia. Proceeds from donations made at local McDonald’s restaurants make up less than 6% of our annual revenue. The remainder of our multi-million dollar budget is generated through the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations. It costs RMHC of the Philadelphia Region $165 a night per family to provide housing and supportive services; however, families are only asked to contribute $25 per night. No one is ever turned away due to inability to pay and the House waives approximately half the nightly fees annually.
