History:
The New Haven house is coming up on it's 25th anniversary. The Ronald McDonald House began in Philadelphia by an Eagles football team player whose child had leukemia. Because of the help he received from the local McDonalds operators to raise funds, it was then named after the McDonalds' mascot clown, Ronald.
