Fundraising for the Red Shoe 5k

Everyone has the ability to make a bigger impact. 

Participants can create a personal fundraising page in minutes and share it with their network — turning one registration into a ripple effect of support. 

It’s simple. It’s shareable. And it helps extend the mission far beyond the event itself.

Individual Fundraising

Every runner gets a fundraising page

When you register for the Red Shoe 5k Run/Walk, we automatically create a personal fundraising page just for you. Using it is optional, but it's a powerful way to support the Ronald McDonald House Washington DC families.
