CHOC Foundation Status

Though the physical office will be closed, the Foundation remains proudly operational and all staff are working remotely.

You can email us at foundation@choc.org, and your message will be directed to the appropriate team.

You can speak to a Foundation associate at 714-509-8690, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Voicemails left after 5 p.m. will be returned the next business day.

Also, all Foundation events through June have been postponed or canceled. Click here for more information on the status of these events. We are evaluating how we can modify our events to better suit the new climate, potentially through leveraging technology to enable remote participation. More details on this are forthcoming.

Again, we thank you for your support and patience during this time, and wish you all the health and comfort in return.
