Raise Your Feet To Raise Hope For Families

Ronald McDonald House Washington DC* provides essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families and promote healing when children need healthcare. The Red Shoe 5K is our signature fundraising event, raising critical support for the families we serve all year long.

As we celebrate the 16th year of this community tradition, we’re excited to return to National Harbor and welcome back News4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer as our host.
