Established in 1998 by RCI co-founder Christel DeHaan, Christel House International is a public charity with a mission to help impoverished children around the world to break the cycle of poverty. RCI support a range of charities and fundraising initiatives locally, nationally and even internationally throughout the year, with Christel House International being their charity of choice.
Christel House works with more than 4,000 impoverished children and their families, providing health care, opportunities for education, counselling, positive role models, job placement assistance, and community outreach programs. All contributions to the charity go directly to the children of Christel House.
RCI associates help Christel House to pursue its mission through fundraisers, employee donations, and volunteerism for those located close to a Christel House venue. New events that benefit the charity are added to the corporate calendar on a regular basis, one of which being the RCI Christel House Open. RCI is the global title sponsor of this unique charity golf tournament that takes place on many golf courses around the world. In addition to raising and donating large amounts of money to Christel House each year, RCI associates also devote countless hours to the cause.
