✨ Throwback Thursday ✨
In honor of Ronald McDonald House Charities Day of Change next week (October 15), we’re looking back to 1993, when the Junior League of Toronto helped support the opening of Ronald McDonald House in Toronto, providing comfort and care to families facing medical challenges.
During the early 1990s, the Junior League of Toronto focused on Helping Parents Raise Healthy Children, partnering with community organizations to strengthen family support systems. As part of this work, the League helped establish a Drop-In Centre at Ronald McDonald House, creating a welcoming space for parents in need.
That same year, JLT hosted its fourth Designer Showcase fundraiser at Ronald McDonald House II, raising funds for League programs and contributing over $1 million to the Toronto community—a powerful example of women-led impact in action.
As we celebrate 125 years of The Junior League, we honor this legacy of compassion, collaboration, and community care.
