Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Hawaii (RMHC-Hawaii) is marking three decades of assisting families with seriously ill children from the neighbor islands and throughout the Pacific Rim who must travel to Oahu for treatments.

The anniversary celebration includes a special show on Saturday, June 24 from 11am to 2pm at Queen Kaahumanu Center. Ronald McDonald® will be a special guest at the party and there will be entertainment and fun activities for the keiki.

RMHC-Hawaii opened its first house on Judd Hillside Road in Manoa Valley on March 27, 1987, and added a second Ronald McDonald House on Oahu Avenue in 2006. Since then RMHC-Hawaii has provided a “home away from home” for more than 11,500 families (3,000 of these families are from Maui County). The Ronald McDonald House Family Room at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children opened in 2003 and provides respite and assistance for more than 9,000 people annually.
