When a child is hospitalized, their parents shouldn't have to worry about where they’ll sleep or how they’ll eat. By joining your colleagues at a Red Shoe Day intersection, you aren't just collecting change; you’re ensuring San Diego families are with their children at the Ronald McDonald House.

Last year, our members' contributions and collections put us in the top 20 teams city-wide. Let’s show San Diego that nobody outworks or outgives a REALTOR®, and have an even better turnout this year!

The Cause: Keeping Families Close
When a child is hospitalized, their loved ones become their strongest support system and ally in healing. Unfortunately, many families can't afford lodging near the hospital during this difficult time. Ronald McDonald House provides a "home away from home" so families can stay close to their sick children without enduring financial strain.
