Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic Presents $300,000 to Hospital

LOMA LINDA>> Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital is now $300,000 closer to a new hospital tower thanks to Walter's Children’s Charity Classic. WCCC founders, Steve and Cathy Kienle along with the WCCC Committee presented LLUCH with a check for $300,000 Tuesday, Jan. 31. Funds were raised during the 21st Annual Walter’s Children’s Charity Classic on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016. The golf tournament was recorded as the most successful golf tournament to date. Kienle noted that the WCCC would not be successful without their committee that is comprised of “phenomenal business partners” in the community. “What we do is the easy part,” he said. “Seeing the work that is being done to care for these patients is the most gratifying for us. It truly is a blessing to have Loma Linda in our backyard." All proceeds from WCCC will go toward Vision 2020, The Campaign for a Whole Tomorrow, specifically to name a playroom in the new Children’s Hospital tower. Cumulatively, WCCC has raised more than $4 million over the last 21 years. To show the hospital’s appreciation, LLUCH administrator Scott Perryman and patient Angie Valencia, 3, from Coachella, presented a recognition plaque to the Kienles. “There are 250 patients in the hospital today,” Perryman said. “And you help us take care of them. You care so much about people you will likely never meet, and to us that means everything.”
