Sammie's Charity: Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House
Tax deductible
Hi! I'm Sammie and as an Amazing Ace contestant I'm raising money for Philadelphia's Ronald McDonald House along with my sidekick, Elliott!
Philadelphia is the home to the first Ronald McDonald House. In the early 1970s, CHOP oncologist Dr. Audrey Evans saw families spending night after night in the hospital while their children received medical care. She knew there had to be a better way and envisioned a house where families could stay. At the same time, the Philadelphia Eagles were fundraising to support a player's daughter who was battling leukemia. Eagles' manager Jimmy Murray met with Dr. Evans and committed to supporting her dream for a house.
Philadelphia's Ronald McDonald House locations on Chestnut St and Erie St provide a temporary residence to over 140 families per night with the comforts of home while also offering the support of staff and volunteers.
