About CHOC

When you sign up to fundraise for this year's CHOC Walk, you’re doing a tremendous thing for children and families in our community: you are walking a path that brings joy to the kids in our care and gives them hope for a happier, healthier childhood. 

CHOC Walk is a three-decade-strong fundraising powerhouse that brings in over $2 million each year to help patients and families at Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) — and $46 million in total since the beginning of the walk. These donations have an immediate impact on our ability to transform pediatric healthcare, impacting children now and for generations to come.

CHOC is a nonprofit health system that provides pioneering, compassionate and customized care for infants, children, adolescents, teens and young adults. CHOC Walk and other fundraising through community philanthropy, plays a critical role in advancing CHOC’s mission to nurture, advance and protect the health and well-being of children. 

Your Dollars at Work

Each year, CHOC provides more than $155 million in total community benefits to support services including increased access to pediatric healthcare resources and information, behavioral health services and more. Of that, more than $135 million—over 85%— is uncompensated care that ensures all children receive the services they need, regardless of their family's ability to pay.

More than two million children from across four counties rely on CHOC each year. And our community's generosity helps support the care and services that guide kids toward a bright and healthy future.
