Hustle For The House
July 18 - 24th
Join us for this year's 3rd annual provincial Hustle for the House! Get outside and walk, run, bike, bark, or even hustle on horseback!
In 2021, RMHC Alberta served families from 201 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. Parents never expect to need a Ronald McDonald House, but we are there when families need us the most — during the serious illness or injury of a child. At least three families check into an Alberta Ronald McDonald House everyday.
RMHC Alberta alleviates the tremendous emotional, financial, and physical burdens faced by families during these difficult times.
Lace up your shoes and go the distance for RMHC Alberta families!
Registration Fee
Adult (18+): $35
Youth (0-17): $20
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. 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.
