Workplace Solutions is proud to announce that we participated in this years’ CHOC Walk! By reaching our donation goal, we were able to contribute to efforts made by CHOC! Their mission statement is: To Nurture, Advance and Protect the Health and Well-Being of Children.
The magical world of Disneyland witnessed an extraordinary event on a stormy morning: the CHOC Walk of 2023. Despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Hilary (now categorized as a tropical storm), thousands of dedicated participants came together to support a noble cause. The rain-soaked event showcased the determined spirit of the human heart, as people united to walk for the Children's Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). This year's CHOC Walk proved that even in the face of adversity, compassion and determination shine the brightest.
The 5K CHOC Walk In the Park 2023 event, featured the Disneyland Resort Ambassadors, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock. Raising funds of $2 million dollars, the event was labeled a success!
We started our day at 5:30AM by walking into the park for the open ceremony. You can watch the ceremony here:
Soon after, we began our walk and headed towards Pirates of the Carribean, where we meet with Jack Sparrow!
Our second favorite thing of the walk was passing through Star Wars land. It’s amazing to see the work and detail put in to the park to closely resemble a Star Wars setting.
The CHOC Walk has always stood as a symbol of hope, raising funds to support children in need of medical care. The 2023 edition of the walk was no different. Each step taken on the rain-soaked paths was a step towards alleviating the suffering of young patients. Participants walked not only to celebrate the magic of Disneyland but also to make a real difference in the lives of children battling illness.
The CHOC Walk 2023 will forever be etched in history, since it’s first event in 1990 that started in Costa Mesa, to now walking through the entire Disneyland park. As the rain and wind continued throughout the day, and the event came to an end, the magic of the CHOC Walk prevailed, reminding us that love and determination can light up the darkest skies.
