For its fourth annual Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser, the Ronald McDonald House is leaning into its name.
“We listened to the feedback of our past attendees and supporters and ultimately came to a menu curated to resemble the same things that make our House feel like ‘home’,” said Luke Oliver, director of marketing and communications.
The fundraiser, set for 6 p.m. April 9 at Arts in the Sunset, 3701 Plains Blvd., will feature designer shopping, wine tasting, a raffle, live and silent auctions, and a fashion show alongside an extensive menu of savory and sweet appetizers.
“We picked menu items that would be easy for our guests to pick up and eat as they make their way through the marketplace,” Oliver said. “It’s diverse. We selected a wide array of heavy appetizers and delectable bites … with vegetarian and gluten-free options so everyone can participate.”
Tickets are $125 each and are extremely limited, Oliver said.
