Children's Hospital Los Angeles

Last week I had the privilege to be one of the official photographers for opening of the new building of Children's Hospital Los Angeles.  "Turn on the Lights! Walk for Kids" was a charity event organized by the hospital and a great way to give back to my community.

The events kicked off with a 5K walk that started at the Griffith Park and ended up by the hospital on Sunset Blvd.  Before the walk, there were festivities, food, drinks and a lot of fun at the park.  Children and adults were able to register for the walk, built custom hats for their teams and prepare to this lovely walk in a very friendly environment.

Mariner cheerleaders, last year's CSU champions from Marina Del Rey thrilled the crownd.

Just before the stat of the walk, I head down to the finish line in order to get a few shots of the people arriving.

Celebrities such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Melanie Griffith and Heidi Klum were there to support Children's Hospital.

There was an eclectic array of food stands in this huge street party.

Los Angeles' own hockey team LA Kings were also represented in this huge street party.

American Idol's Crystal Bowersox gave an intimate performance before they "turned on the lights".

Here is the new building to provide top notch health care for Children of Los Angeles and beyond!
