I'm so excited to be participating in the 2023 CHOC Walk in the Park presented by Disneyland® Resort on Sunday, August 20, to raise funds for CHOC. The CHOC Walk is back!

I am once again running Chalk for CHOC, and thanking donors with sidewalk chalk drawings of the animated or video game character of their choice.

Last year was overwhelming (in the best possible way, with more than $16,000 raised and 154 drawings made for more than 300 individual donors). I didn't finish the drawings until 2022 was almost over, so this year I am having to run things a little differently to make it a bit more manageable. 

How to get a thank you drawing

1. The first 50 donations, in any amount, will receive thank you drawings (if you want one)
2. After the first 50, all donations over $100 will receive a drawing (if you want one)
3. All other donors will still be part of this incredible community and will receive my eternal gratitude and appreciation
4. If time permits, and I am able to take on additional drawings, I will select folks at random from the group of donors who do not automatically receive the offer for a drawing

Everyone one will receive a thank you email from me. Donations that are eligible for a drawing will also receive a link to a google form to maker the request. 

I wish I could draw something for everyone, but unfortunately (and also thankfully), you all have proven that there are just too many amazing people in this world to keep up. 

I'm hopeful, even with this change, we will still all pull together to accomplish what I always thought was impossible...again. CHOC is amazing, and deserves all of our support, so my secret, deep in my heart, I'm nervous to even say it out loud goal for this year will be $20,000. Together, I truly believe we can do it. 

Proceeds from this magical event will support health care programs, education, and research at CHOC and CHOC at Mission Hospitals. Please help me exceed my fundraising goal for the benefit of the children and families of Southern California by:

With Respect and So Much Love,
