LAKEPORT, Calif. — An August event will focus on raising funds to bring hope to young people facing critical illnesses — and that includes Lake County children.
The Lake County Walk for Wishes will take place on Saturday, Aug. 23, at Highland Springs Reservoir.
The event, which starts at 8 a.m., will be held in conjunction with the larger Bay Area Walk for Wishes.
It will benefit Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area, which serves 17 counties — including Lake and Mendocino.
Team captains Leah Sautelet and Ron Ladd said participants can walk, donate or fundraise to help make more local wishes come true.
They can join as an individual or form a team. Choose the full four-mile loop around the reservoir, a relaxed one-mile meadow stroll or simply gather in the shade with fellow supporters to celebrate the power of a wish.
The fundraising goal for the event is at least $5,000.
Organizers said that in the past, local children have had wishes including singing the national anthem at the Lakeport Speedway and traveling to faraway places like Disney World.
“Every wish brings joy, strength and a renewed sense of possibility to children and their families,” organizers said.
They added, “Wishes aren’t just nice — they’re necessary.”
