BRIGHTENING THE HOLIDAYS FOR CHILDREN IN THE HOSPITAL
Light the Way invites the San Diego community to come together to deliver joy and hope to kids healing at Rady Children’s during the holidays.
Your fundraising efforts and donations bring holiday magic to children and families braving illness and injury—and sustain programs that brighten futures for young patients year-round.
Rady Children’s annual holiday campaign returns in late 2025. You can make a difference today by rallying your pack and registering to adventure with us at this year’s Rady Children’s Wild Walkabout on May 18, 2025, at the San Diego Zoo. This unique fundraising experience and one-of-a-kind journey through the zoo benefits the hospital’s vital Patient Experience Program, which cares for the emotional and psychosocial needs of kids and families navigating through difficult times.
