Join Red Shoe Society Chicago

Giving is what Red Shoe Society Chicago is all about – giving time, inspiration, creativity, and funds to help families with hospitalized children at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana get better together.

Red Shoe Society Chicago is a networking group of philanthropic professionals whose shared goal is to raise resources, broaden the volunteer base, and enhance awareness of the Charity across the Chicagoland community.

Members help provide meals for families staying at the Houses and host fundraising events, supply drives, and a variety of seasonal activities to lift the spirits of House guests during their stay.
