Memorable Community Moments
Regardless of economic climate, two million children still count on CHOC being there to provide world-class pediatric care — at a moment’s notice. And thanks to the support of individuals, corporations, foundations and the CHOC Guilds, we haven’t let them down. During fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010) the CHOC Children’s Foundation raised $15 million in order for our physicians, nurses and staff to continue providing state-of-the-art care based on the latest research and guidelines. Thanks to this unwavering community support, CHOC was actually able to increase programs, services, resources and space despite a second consecutive year of unprecedented economic uncertainty. In September, 102.7 KIIS FM broadcast “Lollipop Live” from CHOC, an on-air fundraising event. With assistance from our CMN partners, the event raised about $32,000 and helped to celebrate the fourth anniversary of Radio Lollipop, our in-house radio station, with special celebrity visitors. In October, scores of valiant CHOC supporters came out to raise $1.6 million at the 19th annual CHOC/Disneyland® Resort Walk in the Park. A few months later, we kicked off a new year with the return of the CHOC Cherishes Children Gala, which raised $545,000. In February, the Anaheim Ducks’ “Lady Ducks” organized a Parisian-themed fashion show that featured several of the players on the catwalk and raised $98,000. March was particularly busy. CHOC Family Night at Honda Center, an evening of fun for all ages, raised $35,000. Later that month, almost 100 of Orange County’s business, civic and community leaders sang and danced in CHOC Follies XIII, bringing in $750,000.
