The CHOC Walk in the Park Babes in Disneyland team has grown to 11 members and we are hoping for more readers to join us the morning of October 17. By walking with our team, you will not only get to experience walking through Disneyland before it opens, but you’ll be raising money for a great cause–Orange County’s kids.
Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) is committed to the health and well-being of children through clinical expertise, advocacy, outreach and research that brings advanced treatment to pediatric patients regardless of their family’s ability to pay. Since opening its doors in 1964, CHOC has provided the highest quality medical care to children with a state-of-the-art 238 bed main hospital facility in the City of Orange, a hospital-within-a-hospital in Mission Viejo, and five community clinics — plus over 100 additional programs and services. With admissions growing by 95% since 1998, CHOC and CHOC at Mission combined rank as the 18th busiest children’s hospital in the country. CHOC also has four centers of excellence – The CHOC Children’s Heart, Cancer, Neuroscience, and Orthopaedic Institutes.
On October 17th, over 15,000 walkers will stroll through Disneyland, Disney’s California Adventure and Downtown Disney at the 20th Annual CHOC Walk in the Park. Those who walk in the CHOC Walk in the Park not only get to raise money to help the countless children CHOC currently cares for and those who will need them in the future. Plus, as you walk through the Resort you’ll be joined by your favorite Disney friends – cheering you on and providing unique photo opportunities. At the end of the 5k walk, the celebration continues at Downtown Disney where event sponsors, hospital support groups, shops and restaurants have special offers for all walk participants.

Wish you could join us but can’t? Consider sponsoring someone on our team. Below is a little video from my son Connor about sponsoring our family in our quest to raise money for Orange County’s sick kids.
