Two Walks For Wishes To Benefit Orange County Kids

April 4, 2014

What’s better than taking a long walk in the beautiful spring air? When you can raise money for a worthy cause while doing it! Walk For Wishes benefiting Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire takes place on two different weekends: Saturday, April 12, at Castle Park in Riverside, and Saturday, April 26, at Orange County Great Park in Irvine. All of the proceeds from the walks will benefit Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire. The money raised will help pay for the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Make A Difference In Your Community

Participating in a Walk For Wishes allows you to personally make a difference in the community in which you live. Registration for the Riverside walk is $35 until 5 p.m. Friday, April 11, and $40 at Castle Park on the day of the event. For the Orange County Great Park walk, registration is $25 until 5 p.m. April 18, $35 from then until 5 p.m., April 25, and $40 on the day of the walk. The registration for each walk includes a t-shirt and your event-day pass, which gives you access to all of the activities, although if you register on-site, you aren’t guaranteed a t-shirt.

There are also special prize packages that you can be eligible to win depending on how much money you raise as an individual or a team. Check out the Riverside or Orange County event page for more information.

Each of the mile walks will feature a world of wishes, giving participants the opportunity to share in the magic of the four types of wishes: to be, to have, to go and to meet.

Activities for each event begin with registration and the opening of festivities at 8 a.m. The walk begins at 9:30 and the festivities conclude at noon.
