Please join us in the fundraising effort for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Western Washington & Alaska.

When a child is battling a serious illness, families shouldn't have to worry about anything but being their to support their sick child. Sometimes the best medicine is having family nearby for more hugs, kisses and a comforting: "I love you".

Team Azure is the latest incarnation of a team representing Windows in the Hockey Challenge since 1997. It all started as a friendly competition between Americans and Canadians in Microsoft Exchange team which quickly grew into an epic rivalry between Windows and Exchange teams. We continue this tradition as Team Azure and Team Office365.


Our Mission
To support seriously ill children and their families by providing a place of comfort and compassion just steps away from the hospital where their child receives critical care. This safe place to stay serves as a refuge with meals provided, laundry facilities, family activities, and a support community that creates a special place of comfort.

The Seattle Ronald McDonald House provides a home-away-from-home for 700 families each year while their seriously ill child receives medical treatment at Seattle Children's Hospital. Some families stay for nights, some for months. The House provides families with a warm, supportive and safe place during a very difficult time. 

Faced with a child’s illness, life can stop overnight and parents enter a world of fear and worry. Seattle Children’s Hospital serves the entire northwest and for parents who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs, there is an added stress. Distance. Many families have to travel hours for treatment. Living expenses quickly add up. Long drives, lost jobs, worried siblings, sleeping in cars. Being far from family and friends. These are extra burdens no family should have to experience.

Thankfully, RMHC is able to help when it’s needed most. They keep families with sick children near to each other and the medical care and resources they need.

Help me support the RMHC.  Donations pay for families to stay at the House.  By making a donation, we can give families the gift of laughter, love and time together.  For a sick child, sometimes the best medicine of all is having family nearby.
