  • 2013 Retrospective FINAL
    A LOOK BACK AT THE McDONALD’S ALL AMERICAN® GAMES SUPERSTARS AND UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES FROM GAMES PAST You’ve seen them on TV and at the movies, in the NBA, WNBA and college ranks – McDonald’s All American alumni are household names to basketball fans. But before they were winning Olympic gold medals, NBA, WNBA and NCAA championships, many of them received their first major national television exposure as high school students at the McDonald’s All American Games. Since the Games inception, more than 1,000 prep stars have been named McDonald’s All Americans and had the opportunity to show off their skills on a national stage before reaching the college or professional ranks. Most importantly, the Games raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC®) and its network of local Chapters. To date, the McDonald’s All American Games have raised more than $10 million for RMHC, helping to bring families together in their time of need. As we look forward to celebrating the 37th Anniversary of the McDonald’s All American Boys Game and the 13th Anniversary of the Girls Game on April 2, 2014 in Chicago, Ill., the following is a brief look back at highlights from the past 36 years of McDonald’s All American Games, including funds raised for RMHC: Chicago, Ill. 2013 For the third year in a row, the 2013 McDonald’s All American Games took place at Chicago’s United Center. The 2013 Games raised nearly $470,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities and were played in front of a crowd of 15,818.
