Hustle For The House
July 19 - 24
Join us for this year's 2nd annual provincial Hustle for the House! Get outside and walk, run, bike, bark, or even hustle on horseback!
In 2020, RMHC Alberta served families from 191 communities across the province. Hustle for the House hopes to touch each and every one of those communities that has been touched by RMHC Alberta.
Our Houses in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Medicine Hat are a not nice to have; they are a must-have. 1 in 4 Canadians has either stayed at - or knows someone who has stayed at - a Ronald McDonald House. Please go the distance by fundraising in support of those families, and let’s see you Hustle for the House!
Lace up your shoes and go the distance for RMHC Alberta families who need your support now more than ever.
Registration Fee
Adult (18+): $35
Youth (0-17): $20
*NEW* Four-Legged Furry Friend: $10
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. RMHC Alberta saves families approximately $6.5 million a year on expenses related 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.
