Hundreds of La Quinta residents joined with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California (RMHCSC) to lace up their shoes and support critically ill children and their families at the annual Inland Empire Walk for Kids. This fun, family-friendly 5k (3.1 miles) event raises funds for the life-changing services provided by the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House.
100 percent of the money that was raised will go directly to serving local families right here in the community, continuing its mission to provide a “home away from home” when it’s needed most – enabling families to stay near their hospitalized child at little to no cost. No eligible family is ever turned away due to inability to pay and 40% of the families that stay at the Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House come from the Desert community.
