2024 CHOC Walk in the Park Coming to Disneyland in July

The 2024 CHOC Walk in the Park date has been announced. This year, the walk that supports the Children’s Hospital of Orange County will be taking place at the Disneyland Resort on the morning of July 21, 2024. This is earlier than previous years and promises to be a whole lot of fun while making a big difference. Daps Magic will again be walking in the CHOC Walk and we would love for you to join our team!

At the heart of CHOC Walk are the stories of hope, inspiration and remembrance from the community. Hear from one of the longtime CHOC Walkers on what makes it a truly special experience:  

“I encourage everyone to join the CHOC Walk family. Come experience the passion, the heartfelt thanks, and the sense of community that pours over the event. Use it to give back, honor, share your story, find your place in the CHOC Community, and meet others like you who have found the magic and choose to help grow it.”  

—Kris Torres, CHOC Grateful Family, CHOC Walker for 14 years 

Daps Magic has been participating in the CHOC Walk in the Park for many years as well. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to share about why I walk ahead of Daps Magic hosting a ROCK4CHOC event. Watch this video to see why I walked then and continue to walk in the CHOC Walk every year:

It is hard to put into words the difference that support CHOC through the CHOC Walk in the Park makes for family in the community. It isn’t just providing hope, it’s providing love and support. CHOC provides so much more than medical care. It provides the chance for children to still be children while receiving that care. It provides support for the families facing very difficult times. It provides reasons to smile to children and their families as they go through some very scary things. The Disneyland Resort helps with all of these things through its partnership that goes back to the founding of the Children’s Hospital of Orange County.

In the coming months, Daps Magic will be sharing more about the CHOC Walk in the Park and CHOC itself. We hope you will join our team today and help us make a bigger difference than ever before. You can join our team at chocwalk.org/dapsmagic. We hope that you will also invite friends and family to join the team as well as we walk through the parks to make a difference! We have the opportunity to help make the world a better place and also have a lot of fun doing it! Here is a look at last year’s CHOC Walk in the Park opening ceremony:

Throughout the CHOC Walk in the Park, participants will be able to walk through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure with their teams after an opening ceremony. During this walk, they will get to see a plethora of Disney characters, learn more about CHOC, meet incredible people, and make a difference. Join Team Daps Magic today at chocwalk.org/dapsmagic, grab a hat (we’re known for wearing hats on Team Daps Magic) and we’ll see you bright and early on July 21, 2024 as we walk through the parks to make a difference! I can’t wait to see you there!
