Every year, CAL Sports Academy’s AAU and Club players participate in a service that gives back to the community. This year we will be working with the Ronald McDonald House of Philadelphia to collect items for families who stay with the organization while their children undergo medical treatment at Philadelphia area hospitals. More specifics will be coming to you soon!
In order to start the process, Ronald McDonald House of Philly has sent us a specific wish list of items to collect. Gift cards and donations are also completely welcome. The entire CAL community is welcome to start collecting items. The boys and girls of the AAU Basketball and Club Volleyball CAL Cobra teams will be in charge of organizing and delivering the donations. We’ll let you know soon when and where we’ll be taking in the donations.
All items on this list support our two Houses (Chestnut Street and Front & Erie), our Ronald McDonald Family
Rooms at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. The Philadelphia
Ronald McDonald House serves families from around the world with seriously ill children who are ages 0 to 21.
For the health and safety of our families, all donated items must be new and in the original packaging.
