Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic donates $250,000 to fight child abuse
Representatives of the Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic recently presented a check in the amount of $250,000 to officials of LLU Children’s Hospital’s pediatric forensics team. The monies will be used to educate the public about effective strategies for child abuse prevention.
“Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic continues to provide pivotal support for the Children’s Hospital,” says Zareh Sarrafian, MBA, administrator of LLUCH. “Over the past 12 years, this wonderful group has donated more than $2 million to make a difference in the lives of our children and their families.”
The child abuse prevention program is designed to prevent abusive head trauma and other forms of child abuse. With the support of Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic, LLUCH’s child abuse program hopes to drastically reduce the incidence of all forms of child abuse throughout the Inland Empire and Southern California.
Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic raises funds to purchase equipment, materials, and services for LLUCH, a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet children’s needs in a non-threatening, cheerful environment. The Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic, now in its 13th year, was founded by Walter’s Mercedes Benz Porsche Audi of Riverside.
