SAN DIEGO, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridgepoint
Education, Inc. (NYSE: BPI) today announced it has made the list of
the top 25 organizations who participated in Red Shoe Day and
collected donations for Ronald McDonald House Charities®
of San Diego. Held Thursday, June 22, 2017, the Red Shoe Day event
was participated by 27 Bridgepoint employees who collected money in
Ronald McDonald's iconic red boot.
This is the second year Bridgepoint ranked in Red Shoe Day's top 25
list of donations collected by an organization.
Started in 2009, Red Shoe Day was created to help raise money
for San Diego's Ronald McDonald
House. The Ronald McDonald House provides a "home-away-from-home"
for families with children being treated for serious, often
life-threatening conditions at local hospitals. During Red Shoe
Day, volunteers collect donations from commuters and passers-by
throughout San Diego County, and
all proceeds support family care at San
Diego's Ronald McDonald House.
"The Ronald McDonald House provides such valuable support to
San Diego families with children
requiring hospital care for serious illness," said Jennifer Love Bruce, vice president of corporate
social responsibility for Bridgepoint. "Our employees really care
about giving back to the community and we are grateful that we
could come together and help support Red Shoe Day."
