se Charities. "Today, through our 'Share.Give.Hope.' campaign, we hope to bring people together online to share their stories and allow people to understand what RMHC means to the families and children that walk through our doors. Together, we're celebrating the past and looking forward to the next 35 years of supporting children in need."

People can also show their support for RMHC by sending a 35th Anniversary e-card to friends and family, inviting them to share their own inspirational words online. In addition, visitors can download an RMHC 'badge' to place on their personal blog or social networking site, further demonstrating their support for the Charity.

Celebrity Friends of RMHC Lend their Support

Celebrity Friends of RMHC - Holly Robinson Peete, June Ambrose and Al Roker - will be joining RMHC and McDonald's in celebrating the 35th Anniversary by engaging their followers on Twitter. The Celebrity Friends, who lend their 'star power' to raise awareness for RMHC, will be "tweeting" about the 35th Anniversary and their personal support of the Charity, while encouraging their followers to share their own inspirational stories with others.

The History of the Ronald McDonald House Program

The first Ronald McDonald House was able to open its doors in Philadelphia in 1974, largely due to the fundraising efforts of local McDonald's franchisees and McDonald's Corporation, who donated proceeds from the sales of Shamrock Shakes. Since then, RMHC has grown to be an international non-profit organization. McDonald's has been there every step of the way by continuing to raise money and awareness for RMHC and other children's causes in every country in which it operates.
