RMHC Alberta Winterland Invitational
Provincial Winter Fundraiser
The restrictions surrounding COVID-19 have presented us with an opportunity to reimagine two of our biggest winter fundraising events: Freeze the House Bonspiel & Winterland Invitational. Since we can’t be playing games in local hockey arenas & curling rinks right now, we wanted to find a way to still engage our supporters through their favourite winter activities! Please help us raise much-needed funds for RMHC Alberta families while getting outside and getting active. Shoot pucks at the local ODR! Book some practice ice time at your curling club! Hit up a snowshoe or cross-country ski trail with your family! Crush your favourite moguls or snowboarding run! Toboggan at a neighbourhood park! Try an ice bike or ice fishing! Let’s get creative to raise money for the hundreds of families who need to stay at a Ronald McDonald House in Alberta each year.
Winter Activities
Participate individually by getting outdoors and doing a winter activity such as skating, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, or even building a snowman!
Each of these activities helps support Ronald McDonald House Charities® Alberta and the many families who have to travel across the province to find medical treatment for their sick or injured child.
Complete your winter activity in support of a good cause and fundraise for the House.

About RMHC Alberta
RMHC Alberta supports families seeking vital medical treatment for their sick or injured child. Over 65% of Canadians live outside of a city centre with a hospital, and must travel long distances for medical reasons. Our Houses in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Medicine Hat provide a home-away-from-home for families, while allowing them the gift of staying together during one of life's most difficult times. A Ronald McDonald House will save families hundreds to thousands of dollars on accommodation, transportation, meals, laundry, parking, and so much more. Having a Ronald McDonald House close to the hospital is an important part of family-centred care.
