On October 19, 2024, Easterseals Southern California hosted its most successful Strides for Disability 3K/5K event to-date; a sell-out that surpassed all fundraising goals. Held at a new venue—Angel Stadium in Anaheim—this year’s event gave participants the unique opportunity to walk, run, or roll through the stadium and even see themselves on the jumbotron.
Before the race began, attendees enjoyed free breakfast burritos and visited vendor booths, which featured games, face painting, trick-or-treating, pumpkin decorating, and so much more. Attendees were also treated to a fun warm up and performance by the award-winning Rollettes.
More than 1,300 individuals came together and helped raise over $180,000 at the 2024 Strides for Disability walk. The funds raised from Strides will directly benefit our disability and community services, so that we can continue to empower individuals and families across our Southern California communities in innovative new ways.
