Thank you for making our OCD SoCal’s One Million Steps for OCD Walks a huge success! Together, we raised over $10,000 for OCD awareness and were thrilled to have >250 attendees at our four walks last month! Across each of our locations, attendees enjoyed building community by learning from each others’ treatment journeys, networking with professionals and community resources, and walking in our beautiful SoCal spots.
We are especially grateful to our many sponsors, speakers, community partners, and clinicians who generously shared their time, talent, and treasure to further important OCD advocacy through our walks. We were also thrilled to have so many families, kids (and dogs!) show up!
