Your Support Can Make a Huge Difference. Every family and child that comes to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks has a story, and no two stories are the same. To families, the Ronald McDonald House® provides a refuge. These are families whose seriously ill or injured children are facing trials no child should have to face. To children, the Ronald McDonald House Care Mobile® (fondly known as the Tooth Truck™) provides healthy smiles and a restored self-confidence that cannot be contained. Your generosity allows our families and children to continue to walk over the threshold of the Ronald McDonald Houses, or step up to the Tooth Truck and feel relieved, sheltered, and cared for.
Every year, Ronald McDonald House Charities helps children and their families right here in the Ozarks.
We all walk a different path in life, but together we can keep the Ronald McDonald Houses open for families who need to be mere steps away from their seriously ill or injured children and the Tooth Truck on the road for children to be a short walk away from cavity-free smiles. Thank you for putting yourself in the shoes of these families and children. Thank you for taking steps to provide hope to those who need it most.

ENTERTAINMENT JAKE SIMPSON
Long before his prize-winning Pop performances on Star Search and his now infamous R&B duets on The Oprah Winfrey Show; or sharing the stage with artists like Earth, Wind & Fire, Adam Lambert and Stevie Wonder; singer JAKE SIMPSON was best known across the Midwest as an up-and-coming Crooner, paying for college and cutting his teeth singing his favorite classic songs in cozy Jazz Clubs across the Heartland. Growing up in Crocker, Missouri, making music has been one of the most important driving forces in Jake’s life. His sound has been influenced by Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Donny Hathaway and the classic style of Sam Cooke. Simpson has honored Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Ozarks by captivating the audiences of the Red Shoe Gala for four straight years with his inspiring enthusiasm and passion for helping families and children in our community, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to the Red Shoe Gala for the fifth year!
DAVID DOVE QUARTET Playing the local entertainment scene for over a decade, David Dove brings music to life as an educator, studio musician, composer and bassist for rising county star, Jason Pritchett. He is joined on stage for the 5th Annual Red Shoe Gala by guitarist, Matt Harp; pianist, Kelly Brown; and saxophonist, Brandon Mezzelo. Harp currently focuses on helping aspiring young players attain experience performing in big band settings and recently released an all-original album “Legacy”. He has a follow-up album planned for release in late 2019. Brown spends his time teaching music and recording, and has toured with acts such as “The Skeletons”, “Howie & The Hillcats”, “Rags to Rich’s” and the “Ozark Mountain Daredevils”. When Brandon Mezzelo began playing professionally at 16, he was a featured soloist with the “Buddy Miles Band.” He later joined the US Army band and played as lead tenor for three Army bands stationed throughout Germany. He is now a professional educator and performer, as well as a member of the Artists Recording Collective label out of Kansas City.
