Lemon Grove Volunteers Needed for Annual Red Shoe Day Fundraiser

The countywide event raises money for families of hospitalized children.

—The following article was submitted by Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego is seeking volunteers to man intersections the morning of June 27 for the countywide Red Shoe Day fundraiser supporting families with a critically ill or injured child being treated at local hospitals.

Businesses, families, groups and individuals can form teams or join existing teams to participate in one of the most energetic fundraisers in the county.

Donning festive attire and carrying iconic red shoes, Red Shoe Day volunteers will be stationed at major intersections to collect cash donations during the morning commute. Those who are unable to volunteer at an intersection can support San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House by donating on June 27 or creating a personal fundraising page to collect online donations from friends and families.

More than 12,500 family members visit the Ronald McDonald House each year to receive meals, lodging and other supportive services. The respite provided by the Ronald McDonald House enables families suffering medical crises to focus their energy on helping their sick or injured child heal.

Visit www.RMHCSD.org/RedShoeDay to register as a volunteer or set up a personal fundraising page to help support Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego.
