Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House provides funding for Avondale Day, a day-long series of events centered on health and community building produced by the Avondale Development Corporation. 

Events include the Avondale Festival & Health Fair, Black Men’s Health Forum and the 5K Avondale Feet in the Street walk and run. Avondale Day is a lifeline to at-risk African American families, providing health screenings, counsel and important information in the context of a day-long festival for friends and family.

Cincinnati’s Ronald McDonald House is the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world. It offers a community of compassion, support and the comforts of home to families with critically ill children, steps away from the medical care they need. The House will soon be able to care for 177 families every night, including parents, children receiving outpatient treatment, siblings and other family members. By easing the financial and emotional burdens of caregivers and by taking care of important practical needs, the House allows parents to focus entirely on caring for their children.
