Question
The first Ronald McDonald House opened on this day 40 years old -- October 15, 1974. What current NFL franchise was instrumental in helping to get that concept going?
Answer
Philadelphia. Eagles tight end Fred Hill had a 3-year-old daughter, Kim, who was being treated for leukemia. He and his teammates began raising funds so that parents of ill children could have a place while their kids were treated. The Shamrock Shake became a seasonal menu item, with proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald project (which then spread to other cities).
