I’ll stay there forever.” – A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh Letter from the BOARD CHAIR & CEO Dear Friends, As many of you know, the doors of the first, 13-room Ronald McDonald House opened in Utah in 1988, and they haven’t closed since — not for a day or a minute. With your help we served more pediatric patient families than ever before in 2018. Our 72-room Ronald McDonald House® welcomed 4,107 guest families with 12,461 individual family members that called our House their ‘home’ for 25,557 nights — an average annual occupancy of 89%. At the Ronald McDonald Family Rooms® within Primary Children’s Hospital, we offered needed respite for 7,563 families, with 10,687 individuals that visited 111,108 times during the year! Our eight overnight retreat rooms within the hospital averaged 95% occupancy. Our Hospitality Carts at Ogden Regional Medical Center and Shriner’s Hospital for Children served 3,427 pediatric patient families. Remarkably, 1,204 Adopt a Meal groups lovingly prepared and served 60,200 meals for pediatric patient families at the House and Family Room, and a total of 20,944 volunteer hours were performed during the year! We were honored to receive Charity Navigator’s highest Four-Star Rating for nonprofit accountability and excellence and to be named the 2018 Best Charity to give to by Business.org. We received from an extraordinary legacy of love from Arlene Evelyn Otto with her $965,000 bequest toward our legacy fund to help ensure our mission thrives in perpetuity. We secured four adjacent properties located directly north of our Ronald McDonald House on M Street to “Not all of us can do great things. create a beautiful backyard greenspace and campus expansion. We were thrilled that extraordinary donors pledged But we can do small things with a total of $2.7 million toward the greenspace project by the end of the year. great love.” – MOTHER TERESA In 2018, we celebrated 30 years of gratitude! Thank you to our visionary founders. They witnessed families sleeping in hospital waiting rooms and cars and had a bold vision — and then worked hard to make it happen. Thank you to McDonald’s, our mission partner since the beginning, together with their owner operators, crews, and vendors. Your longstanding support has allowed our mission to grow and flourish. We extend heartfelt thanks to the board members that have provided truly exceptional mission-focused stewardship over the last 30 years; to our deeply dedicated staff members that have brought the mission to life every day for over 30 years; and to our honorably committed volunteers and generous donors that have fueled our mission. Most importantly, thank you to the families we serve — the inspiring child patients and warrior mothers, fathers and sisters and brothers. Thank you for teaching us how to live. Together we are surrounding families with the support they need to be near and care for their seriously ill or injured children. Thank you for making this possible. P.
