Get your walking shoes on because the Rady Children's Walkabout at SeaWorld is back, blending the magic of marine life with a mission to heal.
The event returns on Sunday, May 17, bringing the community together to support patients and families at Rady Children's Hospital.
"This is such a fun event; it's a quintessential San Diego experience. You've got sunshine, you've got SeaWorld, and you've got Rady Children's. And you've got the community coming together to support the kids and families that we serve at Rady Children's," Steve Jennings, Chief Development and External Affairs Officer and Executive Director of Rady Children's Hospital Foundation said.
Jennings, explained that proceeds from the walkabout fund holistic programs at the hospital, including canine, music, and art therapy. These programs aim to provide more than just medical treatment for pediatric patients. "For us, this is helping to create that holistic experience for kids, not only exceptional care, but also thinking about their social and psychological wellness as well," shared Jennings.
The walkabout serves as a major fundraising event where participants can form teams, raise money, and enjoy the park's attractions.
