Every Sick Child Deserves Their Family by Their Side. 

PSAR Teams Up for Red Shoe Day 2025 -  May 21st!

Support the annual Red Shoe Day fundraiser benefiting San Diego's Ronald McDonald House.  PSAR’s Team has been in the top 5 for contribution amounts in the past several years, thanks to your support.  Let’s do it again!

Say hello to our team on May 21st, from 7:00–9:30 AM!  PSAR volunteers will take to two major intersections to collect donations and spread hope.

• Telegraph Canyon Road / Otay Lakes Road
• H Street / Otay Lakes Road

You can also donate directly to the PSAR Team.  Your donation will help purchase life necessities for families—temporary lodging, meals, and daytime resources—so they can focus solely on being together and helping their children. Click here to donate.

When a child is hospitalized, their family’s love can be just as vital as medicine. That’s why PSAR is proud to support Red Shoe Day 2025, raising funds for San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House—a place that keeps families close during their darkest moments.

Help us bring comfort, care, and togetherness to families when they need it most.

PSAR Team:  Jaymee Torres (this year’s team leader), Adulfo Moreno, Derrek Cardinale, Ed Hurtado, Amanda Lozano, Maureena Hahn-Garcia, Michelle Pritch, Alysa Flores, Josh McClelland, Jamie Mora, Candace Thrower, Jay Norris, Elsa Flores, Lucy Navas, Victor Herrera, Alicia Pedroza, Qian Chen, Diana Cortes, Jhoana Alvarado, Astryd Gonzalez, Edna Mitchell, Caroline Magdaleno

For the volunteers, you may contact your team leader, Jaymee Torres, at jaymeet@marinavistaescrow.com for instructions.

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.
