This is the first in-person Walk and Play L.A. event to be held in two years as the previous ones were conducted virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year's event will last from 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and include a 3K walk, a family festival with live entertainment and sports activities hosted by professional athletes. Additionally, funds raised through this event will benefit patients at CHLA.
