KO's Udolf Sisters Honored for Commitment to Ronald McDonald House

At the 22nd annual Gala benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of Springfield, MA, Kingswood Oxford’s Samantha Udolf ’12 and Claudia Udolf ’14 were honored for raising more than $54,000 for the house over the past five years. In addition to their fundraising, which is supported by their web site, www.samsraceforaplace.com, the girls volunteer many weekends at the house, visiting and doing arts and crafts with the children who are staying there. “In the time that they have worked with the Ronald McDonald House, Sam and Claudia have established themselves as spokespersons, hands-on volunteers, fundraisers and friends,” said Jennifer Putnam, Executive Director of the Ronald McDonald House of Springfield. “They are a shining example of the difference two people can make when they set their minds to a goal and pursue it with all their heart and soul.” The Udolf sisters are the daughters of Robert and Danielle Udolf of West Hartford. Samantha is finishing her freshman year at Harvard University.
