Your Support Can Make

a Huge Difference.

Every family and child that comes to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks has a story, and no two stories are the same. To families, the Ronald McDonald House® provides a refuge.

These are families whose seriously ill or injured children are facing trials no child should have to face. To children, the Ronald McDonald House Care Mobile® (fondly known as the Tooth Truck™) provides healthy smiles and a restored self-confidence that cannot be contained.

Your generosity allows our families and children to continue to walk over the threshold of the Ronald McDonald Houses, or step up to the Tooth Truck and feel relieved, sheltered, and cared for.

Every year, Ronald McDonald House Charities helps children and their families right here in the Ozarks.

We all walk a different path in life, but together we can keep the Ronald McDonald Houses open for families who need to be mere steps away from their seriously ill or injured children and the Tooth Truck on the road for children to be a short walk away from cavity-free smiles. Thank you for putting yourself in the shoes of these families and children.

Thank you for taking steps to provide hope to those who need it most.

ENTERTAINMENT JAKE SIMPSON

Long before his prize-winning Pop performances on Star Search and his now infamous R&B duets on The Oprah Winfrey Show; or sharing the stage with artists like Earth, Wind & Fire, Adam Lambert and Stevie Wonder; singer JAKE SIMPSON was best known across the Midwest as an up-andcoming Crooner, paying for college and cutting his teeth singing his favorite classic songs in cozy Jazz Clubs across the Heartland. Growing up in Crocker, Missouri, making music has been one of the most important driving forces in Jake’s life.

His sound has been influenced by Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Donny Hathaway and the classic style of Sam Cooke.

Simpson has honored Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks by captivating the audiences of the Red Shoe Gala for five straight years with his inspiring enthusiasm and passion for helping families and children in our community, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to the virtual 6th Annual Red Shoe Gala!

Over 3,300 families served.

Since opening in November of 2012, the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy has welcomed more than 3,300 families.

We’re happy to sponsor tonight’s Ronald McDonald House Red Shoe Gala.
