Organize an Event

We have a lot of supporters who help out by organizing a fundraising event. This is a great way to bring your friends together for a good cause and have fun while you’re at it. Some event ideas include art shows, auctions, contests, races, games, or skills-building workshops. See some of the community events our supporters organize each year for more ideas.

Red Shoe Crew

The Red Shoe Crew is a student-led, two day event that brings the message of kindness and charity to San Diego area schools through activities that are developed for school-aged children.

During the first day, students participate in a variety of activities that promote the message of helping others. On the second day, the school holds its very own Red Shoe Day fundraiser where students collect donations in Ronald McDonald’s size 14 red shoes. Red Shoe Crew flyer
