Walk Description

Lace up your sneakers and join us for a morning of fun as we gather and walk to help ensure that people with disabilities and their families have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play in their communities.

Registration, music, and munchies start at 8:00. At 9:15 you’ll have your choice of a leisurely 3K, or a more brisk 5k, walk through the beautiful Santa Ana Zoo and surrounding area. The fun continues after the walk with children’s activities, music and games with DJ Rob, samplings from local restaurants and other fun activities at the Community Fair.

Beginning at 8:00 and continuing on through the walk and festivities afterwards Honorary Ambassadors, who have benefited from Easter Seals services, will share their personal Easter Seals story with you and to let you know just how much your support of Walk With Me means to them.

Parking is free in zoo lots and on the street adjacent to the park.  No animals are allowed in the zoo (for information on bringing a service animal with you please visit the zoo rules at http://www.santaanazoo.org/).  While admission to the zoo is free for Walk participants, people wishing to take the train ride must purchase tickets through the zoo train station.

Walk to support your Easter Seals Walk With Me Honorary Ambassador
Whether you walk as an individual or a team, you will be partnered with an Easter Seals Honorary Ambassador -- an Easter Seals client from your community. Your support helps make it possible for Easter Seals to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to live with equality, dignity and independence.

Walk to increase disability awareness
Easter Seals Walk With Me provides the opportunity to meet people with a disability, and learn about each person's abilities -- not just their disabilities -- and the obstacles that might get in the way of their independence. Expanding your knowledge is a step toward helping others reach their goals.

Walk to change the lives of children and adults with disabilities
Each dollar you raise supports local Easter Seals programs and services in your area. Help people learn to walk, talk and perform other skills essential to daily living; find fulfilling jobs; reach individualized goals early in life; age with dignity; and participate in recreation programs.

Walk to improve your health and wellness
Help yourself! Increase your dedication to fitness, walking outdoors among friends. Feel good about contributing to an organization that makes a difference!

Walk to participate in your community
Walk With Me supports Easter Seals programs and services in your community -- it is a great way to get involved and see the results of your participation!
