2024 Battle for the Houses

A Mission-Focused Competition Centered Around the Michigan vs Michigan State Football Rivalry Game

Event Details

Inspired by the Duckett family, who stayed at RMHC Ann Arbor while their son was hospitalized, Battle for the Houses is a friendly competition to build awareness and raise funds for RMHC Ann Arbor (GO BLUE!) and RMHC Mid-Michigan (GO GREEN!).

With the game at The Big House this year on October 26th, RMHCAA will be hosting the Pre-Game Press Conference on Wednesday, October 23rd at University of Michigan Golf Club. More details and how to score tickets to this one-of-a-kind fan friendly event coming soon!
