RED SHOE SOCIETY

Young professionals with a collective goal to help make a difference in the lives of families with seriously ill children

The Red Shoe Society is a group of like-minded young professionals with a collective goal to help make a difference in the lives of families with seriously ill children receiving treatment at the Medical University of South Carolina through fundraising, advocacy, and service.

Our mission is to engage, empower, and inspire young professionals to participate in leadership endeavors that build awareness of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Charleston through, supporting programs that improve the wellbeing of families through volunteerism, fundraising and connectivity through personal and professional networks of RMHC Charleston within the Charleston Community.

The Ronald McDonald House opened its doors 35 years ago as a “Home-away-from-home” where families stay while their children undergo extensive medical treatment. Today, the House is able to serve 32 families every single night.

Here, parents and children lead a life as normal as possible during their traumatic times without the financial burden of costly hotel and travel expenses. Our home offers these families’ comfortable beds, hot meals, a caring staff, and a four-legged friend, Gardy, all just steps from the hospital.
