Featured walkers included the family who inspired the founding of Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) – Fred and Fran Hill, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California (RMHCSC) Board Chair Doug Kanner, and RMHOC Board Chair Steve Tomassi.
During the opening ceremony, Executive Director Noel Burcelis recognized families in attendance who have benefited from RMHC saying, “With each person who came out today, we’re saying to you that we see you, we see support you, we’re here for you, and we’re supporting a charity that looks to care for you.”

Team Kim Hill, led by RMHC’s inspiration family, received the Top Community Team award with over $31,000 raised.
