Company History

In the early 1970s, Philadelphia Eagles’ player Fred Hill’s daughter Kim was treated for leukemia at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia. Hill and his family found themselves sleeping in waiting rooms and eating out of vending machines along with several other families who didn’t leave the hospital so they could be close to their children during this crucial time.

With the support of the Oncology department and Dr. Audrey Evans, Hill and his teammates began to search for a way to have a “home-away-from-home” near the hospital for these families. The search led to local McDonald’s owner/operators who supported the concept and created the St. Patrick’s Day Green Milkshake promotion, with the funds going toward purchasing a house near the hospital where families could stay. Thus, the first Ronald McDonald House was established in Philadelphia in 1974 — named after McDonald’s famed clown mascot.

On May 15, 1985 Ronald McDonald House opened its doors in Phoenix with 16 guest rooms — the 81st in the continually-growing network of Houses worldwide. On June 23, 2008, we opened the Cambridge House, a second Ronald McDonald House on the campus of Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The 18-room, four-story facility features a full-service kitchen, dining area, laundry facilities and activity room. On November 10, 2014, we opened the Dobson House, our third Ronald McDonald House on the campus of Banner Children’s at Desert in Mesa, Arizona, with 16 rooms (including four apartments), kitchen and dining room, laundry facilities and a playground. Today, the Houses can serve 72 families per night.
