The CHOC Walk in the Park is on Sunday, August 2, 2026, before the parks open at The Happiest Place on Earth. Thousands of supporters of Rady Children’s Health Orange County (formerly CHOC) will be walking through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure together for this positive cause. Team Daps Magic will be among them (Join our team here!) For those who haven’t decided if they want to participate in this year’s CHOC Walk, below are three reasons to be excited about participating this year! Take a look at them and then head over to CHOCWalk.org/DapsMagic to be a part of this very special event!
Support the Future of California’s Pediatric Care:
By walking, you are supporting the newly formed partnership between CHOC and Rady Children’s Health—now the largest pediatric health system in the state. Your participation directly funds the cutting-edge research and expanded medical resources that this massive new network provides to children across California. This makes a difference for children in their families facing some stressful/terrifying medical situations. Your support is a gift of the heart, just not a gift of the wallet.
Be Part of a Historic $50 Million Milestone:
This 34-year partnership has already raised a staggering $49 million. Participating in the 2026 walk gives you the chance to be part of the historic group that pushes that lifetime total past the $50 million mark, continuing a legacy of community impact that started with Walt Disney himself. Last year, the CHOC Walk raised over $3 million. This year, we can help that number be even more!
Carry the Torch for “Team Carter Strong Forever”:
Every step you take supports the 2026 Ambassador Family as they honor their son, Carter, who passed away. Participating is a way to turn his dream of a cancer-free future into a reality. By joining the walk, you help ensure that other families have access to the same “little victories” (read more here) and critical support services that make a life-changing difference during treatment.
There are so many other reasons to participate in this year’s CHOC Walk in the Park. Daps Magic will be sharing them in the coming months, leading up to the big day. We hope you will consider how you can participate with our team as we strive to make a positive difference in the world around us. We really want to make the biggest difference this year that we have ever made! We can only do that if you join us! Join Team Daps Magic today at CHOCWalk.org/DapsMagic!
