The Red Shoe Society
The Red Shoe Society is a group of young professionals with a collective goal to help make a difference in the lives of families with sick children.
Young Professionals Working Together for Good
The Red Shoe Society serves as a philanthropic arm of the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Carolinas. The mission of this group is to engage, empower and inspire young professionals to participate in philanthropic and leadership endeavors and build awareness of the Ronald McDonald House Charities®.
As stewards of the Ronald McDonald House Charities®, The Red Shoe Society works together to raise money, donate their time, and provide needed volunteer efforts to benefit the house.
The Red Shoe Society holds bimonthly hybrid meetings (both in person and online).
As a group, we volunteer and serve the RMHC mission in the following ways:
Cookies From the Heart:
There’s nothing that makes a House feel like a home than the smell of freshly baked cookies! We love spending afternoons baking cookies for the kids to enjoy after their trip to the hospital.
Guest Chef:
Together, we make a homecooked meal for families staying at RMHC, bringing a little piece of our home to them. Share your favorite family recipe and come chef it up with us- no fancy cooking skills needed!
Event Support
We work hard to support House fundraising efforts, always maintaining a presence at events like the Hearts & Hands Gala, Lights of Love, and more.
Plane Pull
Fly into action with our annual Plane Pull event, a community fundraiser designed to challenge your strength as you “Pull For The Kids.” An event like no other, teams of 4 compete to pull a small plane at the Greenville Downtown Airport. RSS members assist with selling sponsorships, planning the event, and executing the day-of activities.
Meet likeminded individuals passionate about service and making a difference. We host a variety of social events at local breweries, sporting events, and more.
