SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego launched this year’s 2021 Virtual Red Shoe Day fundraising campaign by honoring how far 6-year-old Owen Abrams has come, marking May 6 as Celebrate Owen Day.
Fundraisers hope to meet a goal of $6,000, which GEICO and the Witte Family Charitable Trust has vowed to match 100%.
The event is the Ronald McDonald House’s largest community-driven fundraiser.
For more than 40 years, the 56-room Ronald McDonald House has provided a “home away from home” for families caring for a critically ill or injured child residing at a local hospital.
On average, more than 15,000 family members make use of the House’s services.
