A local nonprofit will host its annual beer fundraiser this month.

Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) West Michigan will host its outdoor Red Shoe Brew event from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 18, at 1323 Cedar St. NE in Grand Rapids.

This marks the fifth year for the event, which takes place at RMHC’s 5-acre property just northeast of downtown.

Each attendee will receive three beer tasting tokens, dinner, dessert, free McDonald’s fries and a commemorative glass. Additional tasting tokens will be available for purchase.

Live music and yard games will be part of the event, as well.

Tickets for Red Shoe Brew are $45 before May 18 or $50 at the door. Proceeds go toward RMHC’s work to provide lodging and care for families with hospitalized children.
