OWN Network Star & Recording Artist

Jake Simpson

Long before his prize-winning Pop performances on Star Search, his now famous 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. Joining Jake on stage for the Third Annual Red Shoe Gala will be recording artist Karissa Noel, Musical Director Kenneth Crouch, and Grammy Award nominee Kay-ta Matsuno.

Guests can expect Jake Simpson’s renditions of Motown classics, American standards and R&B favorites from Nat King Cole to Sting and everything in between.

Critics rave about his blue eyed soul. His albums are available on iTunes and CD Baby.

Helping the one place that is like home.

Life can bring storms, and we’re thrilled to be able to help families find their way back to each other in the midst of it all. It’s a great honor to sponsor the Ronald McDonald House Charities® Red Shoe Gala.

Our Story Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks: Facts and Figures

Ronald McDonald House near Cox South:

The Tooth Truck:

Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Kids:

Located just across from Cox South, the Ronald McDonald House has been a home to so many families over the years, providing comfort, meals and support.

Since opening its doors in 1988, the Ronald McDonald House near Cox South has welcomed nearly 10,000 families in need, providing a place to call home nearby their seriously ill or injured child.

The Ronald McDonald Care Mobile®, fondly known as the “Tooth Truck™,” provides dental treatments and prevention education for at-risk children, primarily in school-based settings. A joint project between RMHC of the Ozarks and The Tooth Truck, Inc., the program has provided nearly 51,000 dental appointments for more than 22,200 children in over fifteen years of operation, which is valued at more than $13.5 million. The Tooth Truck’s ‘Healthy Smiles Academy’ has impacted 5,000 additional children through this onsite daily tooth-brushing program.

Since November of 2012, the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy Kids has been open to over 2,200 families in need, allowing them to stay just steps away from their seriously ill or injured child. Located on the sixth floor of Mercy Kids in Springfield, this 8,200-square-foot “home away from home” welcomes up to 10 families every night for overnight stays, and even more families who benefit from daytime-only hospital visits.

Your Support Can Make a Huge Difference.

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

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.

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.

Over 2,200 families served.

Since opening in November of 2012, the Ronald McDonald House at Mercy has welcomed more than 2,200 families.

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