Fight for Charity – In Support of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Manitoba – Chris Rodriguez

Hello, my name is Chris Rodriguez. I originally chose to participate in the 2022 Fight for Charity event because I wanted to push my athletic abilities. Once I found out that I am able to do that while raising money for a good cause I immediately reached out. After reading into the event a little more, it changed my prospective as to why I am fighting in this event. With the recent pandemic, unfortunate individuals need more help than ever. This is my way of reaching out to the community and paying it forward.

The 2022 Fight for Charity will be held at the RBC Convention Centre on the 30th of April and will feature:

 - 12 novice boxing matches

 - Casino gaming

 - Silent auction

 - Raffles

 - 50/50

We are proud to announce that the 2022 Fight for Charity event is in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Manitoba (RMHC).

Each and every day, the RMHC Manitoba Mission is delivered through their two core programs, Ronald McDonald House, at 556 Bannatyne Avenue, and Ronald McDonald Family Room, within the walls of HSC Children’s Hospital. Their mission is to help families stay together and feel supported as they maneuver through the challenging and confusing journey of childhood illness or injury. Every year, RMHC Manitoba supports over 2,000 families with overnight accommodations and day use programming. The services provided by RMHC Manitoba support the emotional and physical well-being of the family unit as well as help to ease the financial burden that accompanies childhood illness or injury. This integral support will save families over 1.35 million dollars annually in costly, out-of-pocket expenses.

By delivering important services such as accommodation, meals, parking, laundry, transportation, and programming, RMHC Manitoba is providing families with daily essentials allowing parents to focus on their sick child, their family, and themselves. Keeping families together during times of emotional turmoil allows them to stay strong and fills them with a deep appreciation for all those who are part of the RMHC Manitoba Mission.

RMHC Manitoba is truly proud to be an integral part of the network of care for sick children and their families and is grateful to their community of compassionate supporters.

What one accomplishes alone can be good, but what many accomplish together makes a difference.

Our fundraising goal for the 2022 event is $50,000. Please help us get there by donating anything you can to this worthy cause and sharing this page. Every dollar counts!!

Thank you for supporting me in this journey. I promise to train hard and raise as much as I can for RHMC. I hope to see you all at the event
