The Hockey Challenge is a day-long hockey tournament that brings together hockey-enthusiasts from all over Oregon and SW Washington to raise funds for our three Oregon Ronald McDonald Houses.

Funds raised from the Hockey Challenge will allow RMHC to offer compassionate hospitality and a "home away from home" to families with seriously ill children. Each year RMHC provides support to thousands of families from across Oregon, the US and the world. RMHC offers one-of-kind programming and support including free night stays, home cooked meals prepared by volunteers, pet therapy, childcare, arts and crafts, and a beautiful place to stay just moments away from the hospital. Beginning this year, RMHC Oregon & SW Washington is able to provide nearly 5,000 more nights for families to stay each year. On average, RMHC families travel 495 miles and a family checks into one of the three Oregon Houses every five hours.

How To Help:
