Alpha Delta Pi - Alpha Theta Chapter - University of Washington
Alpha Delta Pi is proud to support the Ronald McDonald House as its national philanthropy.

Ronald McDonald House serves as a home for families who have terminally ill children. Located near major hospitals, these homes charge little to no rent, and allow parents a warm, comforting place to stay while their child undergoes treatment.

Fred Hill, a player for the Eagles, opened the first Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Hill’s daughter, Kim, was diagnosed with leukemia, and treated at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. After realizing that very few hospitals provided sufficient accommodations for families, Hill enlisted the help of his teammates, and Ronald McDonald Charities, and renovated the very first Ronald McDonald House.
Today, over 10 million families have called the Ronald McDonald House a "home away from home." Also, these families have saved over $120 million in housing and rental costs.

There are currently 212 Ronald McDonald houses in 20 countries. These homes are supported by more than 25,000 volunteers, who donate over on million hours of their time annually.

Alpha Theta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi has held numerous philanthropic events for the Ronald McDonald house. This Fall, Alpha Theta was honored to have our International Vice President, Rosalyn Williams in attendance at our homecoming pancake feed that raised more than $450 for the Ronald Mc Donald House.

During the spring, Alpha Thetas sponsor a Lion Share "Survivor" Challenge weeklong philanthropy which also benefits the Ronald McDonald House.

Throughout this year, sisters have also attended monthly movie nights at the local Ronald McDonald House located near Children’s Hospital in Seattle.
