Software company Deltek visited the West House last week to donate items from our House Wish List. This is the second year that the company’s employees have chosen to forgo their office holiday party, and instead use the money to make a donation to Ronald McDonald House!

We’d like to thank everyone at Deltek for their amazing support! Visit their website here.

Wednesday night, guests at the Ronald McDonald House East had a special Disney night, when a surprise visitor arrived – none other than Mickey Mouse himself!

Locally owned Pedal Bike Tours is helping families at Ronald McDonald House to get out and explore the city with free bike rentals and tours. The friendly neighborhood bike shop on N. Williams Avenue, only a few blocks from Emanuel Hospital, is a great place to shop for a new bike, rent a bike, or pick up new bike gear.

Co-owner Todd Roll also leads tours throughout the city, making fun excursions for groups of all sizes. He recently took an RMHC family on a bike tour through the Gorge, and leads other theme tours around the city and beyond.

Visit the Pedal Bike Tours website for complete tour details.
