An Event Benefitting Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Ozarks.

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 entering the threshold

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

of the Ronald McDonald Houses, or step up to the Tooth Truck and feel relieved, sheltered, and cared for.

We all follow a different path in life, but together we can keep the Ronald McDonald Houses open for families who need to be close to 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 helping provide hope to those who need it most.

ADOPT A FAMILY

You have the opportunity to support the children and families who directly benefit from the Tooth Truck and our Ronald McDonald Houses.

Here’s what your support can mean to our families:

$2,500 will underwrite 20 days at the Ronald McDonald House for a family, the average length of time our families with babies in the NICU stay at the Houses.

$1,000 ensures for an entire year that all families of hospitalized children learn about the Ronald McDonald Houses with a personal visit through our Happy Wheels Program, also delivering necessity items and fun activities.

$500 underwrites the Tooth Truck’s average cost for 4 dental appointments, providing kids with bright, shiny smiles and increased self-esteem.

$250 covers a month’s worth of expenses for our Family Fund, giving help to families with urgent needs such as gas, prescriptions and clothing.

$100 provides Tooth Truck supply bags including a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, brushing timer, and instructional cling/card for nearly 60 patients.

$50 helps contribute gifts and supplies for families who will be away from their own homes and staying at our Ronald McDonald Houses during the upcoming holiday season.

YOUNG HEARTS GROW STRONG. We are proud to sponsor the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of the Ozarks Red Shoe Gala. Together we can continue to help families heal and prepare for bright futures.

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-and-coming 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 six straight years with his inspiring enthusiasm and passion for helping families and children in our community, and we are thrilled to bring you a playlist for your enjoyment!
