Latino Advisory Council
Vision
To foster a collaborative partnership between CHOC and the Latino community.
Mission/Purpose
To encourage the Latino community’s engagement in philanthropy and volunteerism that benefit the children and families served at CHOC. The Latino Advisory Council supports and promotes CHOC through collaborative partnerships and philanthropic engagement with the greater Latino community. The Latino Advisory Council will primarily focus its efforts on Wellness on Wheels (WoW), a comprehensive program that will provide a broad range of needed services in the most underserved communities in OC. WoW’s goals are to dismantle barriers to healthcare access that have historically resulted in health disparities among our county’s most vulnerable.
Commitment

As a Council Member, we ask for active participation via two of the opportunities below:
- Participate in the planning and fundraising efforts for the Unidos Por CHOC Campaign, including the annual Event.
- Help in soliciting potential donors (from a list provided by the Foundation).
- Participate in Foundation wide events by sponsoring or securing donations (i.e. Annual Gala, Golf Tournament, CHOC Walk).
- Cause marketing campaign: arrange with a business or restaurant to donate a % of sales to CHOC.
