The Red Shoe Society, a dynamic network of philanthropic women dedicated to making a difference in the lives of families, continues to bring passion, purpose, and community spirit to Ronald McDonald House South Florida. Through fundraising, volunteering, mentoring, and community engagement, these remarkable women help advance the organization’s mission of keeping families close when their children need medical care.

One of the Society’s signature events, Wine & Fries, once again proved that great wine, delicious food, and a meaningful cause make the perfect pairing.

This year, Wine & Fries: A Taste of Spain welcomed more than 230 guests for an unforgettable evening of culinary delights, meaningful connections, and philanthropy, raising an impressive $77,500 in support of Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida. The funds help provide families with a comforting home away from home while their children receive medical treatment.

The evening’s success was made possible by the generosity of an extraordinary community of partners and supporters. Special thanks to Wine41, our exceptional wine partner, for curating a memorable tasting experience; McDonald’s, whose iconic fries remain at the heart of this beloved event; and acclaimed Chef Eileen Andrade of FINKA Table & Tap and Amelia’s 1931, who delighted guests with her creative, chef-inspired sauces and toppings.

We are equally grateful to our generous sponsors, dedicated volunteers, talented vendors, and every guest who joined us in making this celebration a resounding success. Their commitment reflects the power of community coming together to support families during some of life’s most challenging moments.

More than an evening of food and wine, Wine & Fries embodies the heart of the Red Shoe Society: bringing people together to create a lasting impact and ensure families can stay close when it matters most.
