We all know a child who’s been in hospital unexpectedly. Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) helps families stay together during some of the toughest times of their lives — when a child is seriously ill or injured, they provide free accommodation, meals and essential support close to the hospital.
Travel and cost stops being the problem, so the family can focus on the child. RMHC helps thousands of Kiwi families every year — and every dollar raised keeps the doors open.
We wanted to do something meaningful with the Park — and this is it. One afternoon, our whole community, playing to lift the emotional and financial load off families going through the hardest days of their lives.

Mates. Family. Colleagues. Workmates. Anyone up for a good afternoon and a good cause — as long as you come as a pair. We don’t match-make, so bring your teammate.
One sport per team for the day. Pick the one that fires you up — or the one you fancy trying for the first time.
Every dollar of your team entry goes straight to RMHC. Here’s what your team gets for showing up.
Every extra dollar we raise on the day goes straight to RMHC. Come ready to bid, buy tickets, and dig deep.
Write your bid, keep it secret, walk away with something great. Items donated by our sponsors and partners.
A handful of premium items going under the hammer — higher stakes, higher energy, all for RMHC.
Grab a bite between matches — all proceeds to RMHC. We’re chasing food donations to max out what goes back.
Pay to enter, contribute to your team’s tally, chase prizes. Running throughout the day between matches.
Richard, owner of FIT IQ and mate of the Park, is running a special guest challenge on the day. Come test yourself — every entry helps push the total higher for RMHC.
More on-the-day fundraising surprises still in the works. Bring your wallet — and a sense of adventure.
Not up for playing? Back the event instead. Two ways to get your brand front and centre while doing real good for Kiwi families.
$2,000 sponsor · locked in
Parry Group are the confirmed Event Sponsor for Rally for RMHC. Massive thanks — their support gets the event off the ground and every dollar we raise on the day goes straight to families.
In-kind · multiple spots open
In-kind partner spots are still open — auction items, BBQ food donations, on-day help. A quick email to Campbell gets you the full pitch.
Yes — 100%. Rally for RMHC is designed for all skill levels. The day kicks off with a beginner-friendly coaching session so you’ll understand the rules and how the game plays before your first match. Everyone’s a beginner at some point.
All the gear is provided — rackets, paddles, balls. Bring court shoes (or clean trainers), a water bottle, activewear you can move in, and your teammate.
Not this round — teams are strictly pairs of two and we’re not match-making. Grab a mate, a partner, a family member, a colleague, a neighbour — anyone up for a good time and a good cause.
Monday 31 August 2026. That gives us the week before the event clear to sort the draw, coaching, equipment and everything else. Earlier is better — spots go on a first-in basis.
Yes — when you register on Raisely, your team gets its own fundraising page. Share it with friends, family, colleagues, socials — anyone who wants to back your team. Every dollar donated to your page adds to your team’s tally and goes straight to RMHC.
No — the draw is balanced by experience level. Beginners play beginners. We’ll also run a beginner-friendly coaching session from around 11am (before doors open at 12) so you’ll know what you’re doing before your first match.
Yes — substitutions are allowed. If life gets in the way and your teammate can’t stay the whole day, you can bring in a sub.
Yes. The $200 team entry is a flat donation to RMHC via our official Raisely fundraising page. Each team also gets their own team page when they register, so you can rally friends and family to raise even more. 100% of everything raised goes to RMHC.
Every dollar raised on the day — team entries, silent and live auctions, BBQ, skills challenges, sponsorship — goes straight to Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand. RMHC provides free accommodation, meals and support to families with a seriously ill or injured child in hospital.
Absolutely. Bring the family, cheer on friends, throw a bid in the auction, grab a BBQ, jump into a skills challenge. Every set of eyes and every dollar helps.
