On June 25, 2016, young artists and families from throughout Southern California will come together for a one-of-a-kind fundraising event benefitting CHOC Children’s Hospital. At the Paint Your Way to Miracles and Magic event at the Downtown Disney District, children have the opportunity to hand paint a custom ceramic tile that will be part of a larger mosaic to be displayed between the Downtown Disney District and the Disneyland Hotel. Family, friends and thousands of Disneyland® Resort guests will be able to view the complete mosaic for the following year. Paint Your Way to Miracles and Magic is generously sponsored by the Downtown Disney District, American Honda Motor Company, Kaman’s Art Shoppes, and Color Me Mine.
This fun-filled fundraiser is limited to only 191 tiles, so it is important to register early and reserve tiles as soon as possible. A $60 donation is required for each tile, and registrants must sign up for a specific 45-minute session. The first session begins at 9 a.m. with the last session beginning at 2 p.m. Adults accompanying children will be able to watch as children paint. Sign up by clicking here.
The Paint Your Way to Miracle and Magic events officially kicks off the 2016 CHOC Walk in the Park fundraising season. The CHOC Walk in the Park is CHOC Children’s Hospital’s annual 5K walk through the Disneyland Resort. Last year’s Walk raised more than $2.5 million for the hospital’s Kids’ Care Fund. This fund provides funding to the programs and services in the greatest need both at the hospital and in the community—from mental health services to an expanded neonatal intensive care unit to care for children and families who cannot afford to pay. For Disneyland fans, the CHOC Walk provides rare glimpses backstage, plus character photo opportunities and the special feeling you get walking through the parks before they open to the public!
