a sponsorship packet today.

There’s one place where a child can take comfort.
One place where a family can take strength.
One place where a community can take pride.
There’s one place like home.
Dear Friends,
Philadelphia is a city of firsts. The first United States Capital. First post
office. First fire company. And the world’s first Ronald McDonald House.
That’s right: in 1974, the dream and determination of our co-founders
Dr. Audrey Evans and Jimmy Murray came to life on a tree-lined street in
West Philadelphia.
Today—as we celebrate our 40th year supporting families with seriously ill children—there are more than
336 Houses in 35 countries around the world. Yet families from around the world continue to travel here
to Philadelphia. They come for leading-edge treatments or to see renowned specialists. They come for
the hope our city’s hospitals provide, and the best chance for another birthday for their child. And they
come to stay with us.
Today we strive to provide the most responsive service and engaging programming we can at our two
Houses, introducing, in the past year alone: a Healthy Breakfast Program at our Chestnut Street House,
a Creative Play Art & Music Therapy Program at our Front & Erie House, and a Hospitality Kiosk for
families on the Critical Care Units of St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
Along with more new programming to come in our anniversary year, we are also actively pursuing
plans to expand accommodations at our Chestnut Street location. While we opened our doors for
2,379 families from 46 states and 20 countries in 2013, there were 2,888 more families we could not
accommodate—a devastating statistic that both highlights the demand for our services and the urgent
need to increase capacity.
As I look back on our history and forward to the year ahead, I am filled with gratitude and awe for you—
the volunteers and supporters who make what we do possible. You embraced the nascent idea for the
first Ronald McDonald House forty years ago. You’ve been there for us as we’ve grown from a sevenbedroom House on Spruce Street to two Houses, a Ronald McDonald Camp, two Ronald McDonald
Family Rooms, and a Hospitality Kiosk. And your example inspires us as we embark on the next forty
years—and beyond—of fulfilling our mission.
On behalf of all of the families who have called our Houses their home since 1974, and all of the families
who will come through our doors in the years ahead,
I cannot thank you enough.
With Sincere Gratitude,
Susan Campbell
Executive Director
Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House
40th Anniversary Celebration
Join us for a celebration of the families and children who have called our House
home; of the generous donors and tireless volunteers who have provided for those
families; and of the visionary founders without whose compassion and commitment
the last forty years would not have been possible.

Dr. Audrey E. Evans Award of Excellence
Honoring Carl H. June, M.D., Stephan Grupp, M.D., Ph.D, Bruce Levine, Ph.D,
and David L. Porter, M.D.
Dr. Audrey Evans has dedicated her career to helping treat children with cancer. In the medical
community, she is known as a pioneer in the clinical study and treatment of childhood cancers and
built a world-renowned pediatric cancer program at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. To the
Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, she is our co-founder, and it was her dream and determination
that led to the inception of the very first Ronald McDonald House here in Philadelphia. There are more
than 336 Houses in 35 countries around the world, thanks to her vision.
The Dr. Audrey E. Evans Award of Excellence recognizes individuals who have made significant
contributions to the health and well-being of children. Dr. June, Dr. Grupp, Dr. Levine, and Dr. Porter,
the recipients of the Dr. Audrey Evans Award, are being recognized for their groundbreaking immune
therapy work using genetically engineered, cancer-fighting T cells to treat an aggressive form of
childhood leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Last year their work — conducted in
partnership between The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania —
led to dramatic, extraordinary results published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Ad Sizes
Please note: If your ad is larger than the sizes
listed, it will beevenly shrunk to fit the allotted
space of your sponsorship level.
It started here in Philadelphia with a small group of people and a dream. Forty years later,
that dream has come true hundreds of times over in 35 countries around the world.
But without the support of people and organizations like you,
the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House would not stand.
Your donations pay for the fresh food, clean linens, toys, games, transportation and emotional
support required to sustain the families of seriously ill children who depend
on us. They enable those families to remain close to the child who needs
them, and to one another, in times of fear and grief.
By attending, contributing to or providing support through
advertising for our 40th Anniversay Celebration, you are not
just helping us to support those thousands of families,
but you are becoming a part of another close-knit
and caring family--ours.
