Over $400,000 Raised at 4th Annual Orange County Walk
Over 5,000 people, including more than 150 volunteers, joined the 4th annual Orange County Walk Now for Autism on Saturday, November 17 at Hidden Valley in Irvine, raising over $400,000. Many walkers came from the San Diego area, as their walk was cancelled due to the devastation of the wildfires.
Walkers enjoyed a resource fair with over 50 vendors and musical entertainment by Dual Eyed Mic, who also performed at last year's walk.
