The Red Shoe Crew, Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Jacksonville’s young professional group, recently hosted the 8^th Annual Fries With That Wine event, raising more than $55,000 to support RMHC of Jacksonville, an organization that serves as a “home away from home” for families that have to travel to Jacksonville for their child’s medical care.

“We appreciate the tremendous support we received for our Fries With That Wine event,” said Diane Boyle, Executive Director, RMHC of Jacksonville. “The event would not have been possible without all of our sponsors, including our Presenting Sponsor, EverBank, and dozens of dedicated volunteers. The money raised from Fries With That Wine will help us continue our very important mission of providing vital services to families whose children are receiving world-class pediatric care in Jacksonville.”

More than 400 guests gathered at the newly renovated US Assure Club East at EverBank Field for an evening of networking, delicious wine, spectacular food and live music. New this year was a VIP section sponsored by Florida Blue, allowing guests early access prior to general admission, premier wines from Riverside Liquors and special culinary treats from McDonalds.
