Red Shoe Day

Red Shoe Day is on Wednesday, May 21

7:00am-9:30am

REGISTER OR DONATE TODAY!

 

Each year, teams of volunteers gather at intersections across San Diego and collect donations from morning commuters to support San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. This is our largest community fundraiser and helps our House provide a “home away from home” for families with children in local hospitals. 

Thank you for your support!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register myself or my group for Red Shoe Day?

You can register here: Red Shoe Day Registration!

When is the deadline to register?

Register before May 10, 2024 to pick up supplies during our Supply Pick-Up days on May 15 and May 16 at the Ronald McDonald House. Any registrations after those dates will need to schedule a time to pick up supplies.

Where is my intersection ?

After registering a team, a member of the Ronald McDonald House staff will reach out to confirm your desired location and specific intersection. If you do not hear from a staff member within a week, please contact Meg Usher at (858) 598-2447. 

What will we do on May 21?

Your team will meet at your intersection and review the safety slides provided by RMCH-SD. You will then spread out in groups of at least 2 at the intersection and collect donations from passing morning commuters. Have fun and be safe! 

What Red Shoe Day supplies are provided to me?

Team captains will pick up supplies on May 15 and 16, 2024 at San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House located at 2929 Children’s Way  SD, CA  92123. Each team will receive enough Red Shoe Day signs, boots, and canisters to collect donations. Each volunteer will receive their own Red Shoe Day T-shirt.

How can I donate to Red Shoe Day if I don’t have the opportunity on my morning commute?

You can donate online here, via Venmo at @RMHC-SD Donations, or by mailing a check to Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego at 2929 Children’s Way, San Diego, CA 92123.
