SaddleBrooke and SaddleBrooke Ranch Residents Walked for Kids | Community

The SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) Walk for Kids was held at 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 26. The walk was preceded by a warm-up session led by Jacqueline Brehm of Vital Moves in the SaddleBrooke HOA-1 parking lot near the bocce ball courts. Walkers, wearing their Walk for Kids 2024 t-shirts, completed either a long walk around Ridge View Boulevard or a shorter approximately one-mile walk. Tables were set up along both routes to provide water for human and canine walkers. SBCO welcomed students from the Copper Corridor schools of Mammoth/San Manuel High School and Mountain Vista Elementary in Oracle to participate in the walk. The students always bring energy and enthusiasm to this event, even if participating residents of SaddleBrooke communities can’t keep up with them.

After completing their chosen walk, participants picked up drinks and snacks and visited with their friends and neighbors on a warm fall morning. In all, approximately 225 participants registered for the walk, along with nearly 100 local students who were given free admission.

SBCO thanks everyone—volunteers and participants—who helped to make this annual event a success. The Walk for Kids raises funds, but just as importantly, it raises community awareness for SBCO’s efforts to provide local kids with opportunities to succeed through programs that offer food, clothing, enrichment and education.
