Deets: On May 16th from 8:30am-9:30am PT, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) will be holding their Fourth Annual Walk and Play L.A. fundraising event. In response to COVID-19, the fourth annual event is going virtual, giving everyone an opportunity to give back to the patients and essential health care workers at CHLA while staying active in the safety of their homes.
Presented by Disney, Walk and Play L.A. is a family-friendly community event that celebrates and promotes the well-being of children in Los Angeles.
The event brings the community, entertainment companies, celebrities, fitness and lifestyle brands, athletes, musicians, and more together to help fundraise for the hospital.
Participants can start a team (or join individually) and choose to support any of 350 specialty programs and services at CHLA, which provide critical, lifesaving care to over 600,000 children each year.
This year, participants can also choose to donate to CHLA’s COVID Emergency Response Fund, which was established to help CHLA procure and maintain the numerous resources needed to meet the challenges of this public health crisis. This Fund provides for emergency child care for clinical providers, free meals for doctors and nurses working around the clock, medical tests, specialized supplies, and expert care and technology.
Now more than ever, our everyday heroes—our patients and frontline staff—need your support. Funds raised through Walk and Play L.A. assist Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in fulfilling its mission to create hope and build healthier futures.
