Season 2, Episode 10: Comfort and Hope

Jim Murray is the Co-Founder of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.

Born in West Philadelphia, he is a 1960 alumni of Villanova University. In 1969, Jim joined the Philadelphia Eagles’ public relations staff.  Five years later, he was named general manager for the Eagles where he served for nine years and took the franchise to the first Super Bowl appearance against the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV.

During his 14 years with the Eagles, Jim distinguished himself as a leader in a number of projects that served the community. In addition to co-founding the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, he helped start the Eagles Fly for Leukemia campaign. He also persuaded many of his peers in the NFL to become involved in the unique Ronald McDonald House concept across the country.

The Ronald McDonald House® programs provide temporary lodging, transportation, meals, and social services to families who travel to Philadelphia for pediatric care.

Jim joins me on this episode of Be The Good to discuss the flagship Ronald McDonald House here in Philadelphia as it works to support families of seriously ill children, creating a community of comfort and hope.
