Healthy bodies. Healthy minds. Healthy hearts.

Walk for Kids, the signature event of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Arizona, brings together family, friends, and community members to build awareness and raise funds to nurture the health and well-being of children and their families.

Walk with us Sunday, December 7, 2025 at Kino Sports Complex North (3400 S Country Club Rd), for a 1-mile stroll to support families with a child facing a critical illness or injury.

Walk for Kids features interactive activities for all ages, including a Kids’ Zone consisting of booths from local community partners. In 2024, more than 1,400 walkers and donors raised over $140,000.
