YOU'RE OUR HERO!
Thank you for raising your feet to raise hope for families on Sunday!
768 pairs of feet (and dozens of paws) walked and ran, but we raised a lot more than just feet this year! Thanks to our generous sponsors, fundraisers, donors, participants, and vendors, as of today we raised over $97,000 to help families in need at the 9th Annual Red Shoe 5k Run & Walk!
Other important numbers:
Estimated media reach: 155,739
Estimated publicity value: $1,440
Impressions across social platforms: 42.5K
Thank you for being a superhero to families with sick kids!

Since beginning more than 20 years ago, this event has had different names and different locations, but always the same goal at its heart - to give our community a way to come together, show support for, and make a positive impact on the families served by RMHCDC.
Thank you for being a special part of this race day, a friend to RMHCDC, and for making a difference in the lives of families in need. On behalf of the families and children served by RMHCDC, we thank you for every dollar given, every hour volunteered, every foot raised, and each ounce of love shared.
Since last year's 5k, we've been able to provide more than 16,088 nights and visits to our Ronald McDonald Houses, Ronald McDonald Family Rooms, and Ronald McDonald Care Mobiles.
Your support is making it possible to expand our Ronald McDonald Houses. The first phase of this expansion project, starting at the end of 2019, will add rooms to both Houses, addressing the needs of an increasing number of families with sick children seeking treatment in area hospitals. As we make way for more families, support like what you showed for the Red Shoe 5k is more important and more needed than ever!
CONGRATS!
