Why I Support CHOC Walk in the Park
Why I Support CHOC Walk in the Park
This was our 2nd year participating in CHOC Walk in the Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. We are huge Disneyland fans but this fundraiser goes way beyond a "walk in the park" before it opens to the public! CHOC Walk in the Park brings the community together for one single goal, to raise funds for health care programs, education and research for Southern California’s kids. The icing on the cake besides the amazing vibe and sense of community during the walk is the joy of seeing your favorite Disney® characters cheering you on along the 5K walk around Disneyland and DCA. Celebrating the purity of children has never been so fun and teaching the importance of acceptance, understanding and compassion to my daughter is priceless!

It was another successful CHOC Walk in the Park! To date $2,300,000 has been raised by the 12,000 plus walkers and the 33,000 individuals and organizations that contributed and the best part, the support continues to pour in! If you missed this years walk there is still time to help reach their $3.1 million goal, fundraising continues until September 27th giving walkers a chance to earn prizes like the commemorative CHOC Walk lapel pin, the CHOC Walk medallion and Disneyland® Resort Park tickets! The best part you will be helping protect the health and well-being of the children right here in Southern California!
Your donation to the CHOC Walk makes an immediate impact, providing families with care during the most challenging time of their life. CHOC Children's provides the highest level of care not only to patients, but to their siblings, parents, and extended family. So even if you don't have the need for their services, it's a blessing to know they are there for others and in the rare instance you too might need them someday. This is the reason I support CHOC.
