WALK FOR KIDS 2015
Dear Friends:
Imagine 7,000 people walking in support of children with
critical illnesses and their families. A day filled with hope,
laughter, family, friends and togetherness—everyone
gathered for one purpose—to raise funds and awareness
for the programs of the Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Southern California (RMHCSC).
For more than thirty years, Camp Ronald McDonald for
Good Times—a program of RMHCSC— has provided
camp programs for children with cancer and their families.
It is our philosophy that love, care, attention, and above
all else, friendship transforms lives and leads to healthy
outcomes. Camp provides families with the unique
opportunity to pause, smile, connect with others who are
facing the same challenges, and renew a sense of hope. At the same time, children develop
critical social/emotional skills that are often underdeveloped in patients and siblings who miss out
on peer to peer interactions during years of treatment in their formative years.
To achieve these results, Camp relies heavily on its network of volunteers and donors. We know
we can’t negate the impact of chemotherapy or reduce the pain that comes with treatment, but
we can offer children fighting cancer the chance to experience personal growth and support
their healing. Help us continue to provide the best programs for these children by becoming
a sponsor of our 2015 Walk for Kids. At the 2014 Walk for Kids, we had more than 7,000
walkers at Exposition Park and raised more than $1 million to support RMHCSC programs,
including $330,000 for Camp. The event received 1.1 million media impressions by partners
such as the Los Angeles Times, KTLA 5 News, KABC News Radio, Radio Disney, Clear
Channel Outdoor media, K-Earth and 97.1 KLSX.
As you can see from the enclosed information, we offer a comprehensive recognition package.
We are committed to providing maximum return on your investment and would be happy to
create a customized package to meet your specific needs.
On behalf of Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times and the children and families we serve,
thank you. Your support allows us to improve the lives of children and families living with cancer.
Sincerely,
Sarah E. Orth
Executive Director
