Young Professionals dedicated to RMHC’s mission
The Red Shoe Society (RSS) is a group of young professionals dedicated to Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central and Northern Arizona’s mission of providing a welcoming “home-away-from-home” for families with children facing medical challenges.
Through coordinating and participating in fundraising events, volunteer projects, preparing meals for families staying at the House, and spreading the word about our mission, these young professionals are committed to making a difference at RMHC and enhancing the family experience for each family who walks in our doors.
Connecting with Families
RSS meets regularly throughout the year to prepare and serve dinner to families staying at the Houses, as well as hosting special events, including Halloween and Valentine’s Day celebrations. These meals and events provide great support to the families while giving Red Shoe Society members a unique opportunity to interact and connect with the families who stay at RMHC as well as with each other.
Fundraising & Awareness
One way Red Shoe Society members support the House is through fundraising and “friend”raising events throughout the year. Some past events include:
- A McNight to Remember Gala After Party
- ‘Strikes & Spares Because We Care’ Bowling Tournament
- Community Events at Kendra Scott Jewelry, The Brush Bar, Tempe Improv, and Arizona Diamondbacks games
