Philanthropy - By participating in Red Shoe Run, you're keeping a family close to their sick or injured child free of charge and giving back to a critical cause in your community.
Create a Friends & Family Team
Friends and Family Teams are at the heart of Red Shoe Run, and they often stretch beyond immediate friends and family to include neighbors, community organizations, religious groups, civic groups and schools. Regardless of who joins, forming a Friends and Family team is an effective way to bring even more awareness and funds to fuel our mission. At the same time, team members can get involved in the community and move toward their personal health and wellness goals.
