Fourth annual Walk for Kids is set

The fourth annual Walk for Kids, benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oklahoma City, set for Saturday at the Dell Oklahoma City campus, 3501 SW 15.

The event is an opportunity for the community to come together to make a difference in the lives of hospitalized children and their families, according to a news release.

"Last year's Walk for Kids raised more than $87,000 to help keep families of sick children close to the resources they need," said Susan Adams, president and chief executive officer of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Oklahoma City.

"Walk for Kids proceeds will help provide families with emotional and physical comfort and support, which enhances the child's and family's hospital experience."

Walk for Kids registration and activities begin at 8 a.m., and opening ceremonies start at 9:15 a.m.

The event will feature activities such as an appearance by Rumble, inflatable games, music by Nexus Productions, photos with the Thunder Girls, family activities provided by The Home Depot, a strolling magician and more. Walk for Kids T-shirts and red-andwhite striped socks will be available to purchase.

"We are honored to host Walk for Kids for the fourth year," said Scott Haworth, co-site leader, Dell OKC.

"This wonderful event is a testament to the love and support this community has for the children and families of Ronald McDonald House Charities and the incredible work Susan and team do every day. The event celebrates togetherness and the human spirit, and Dell is thrilled to open up our courtyard again to raise awareness and funds for such a worthy cause."
