thank you imperial valley!
The 5th Annual 5K Fun Run walk event was amazing!
Why? Because so many of you came out to join us at Sunbeam Lake Park. With all the support coming from so many local businesses, there was so much to take in and experience.
Groups such as Best Step Forward, IABA, El Centro Regional Medical Center, Sun Community Federal Credit Union, PBS, Food 4 Less, as well as so many more, took time out of their schedules to be a part of the excitement and vibe that made this event so successful.
We are also so grateful for all the participants who were in attendance that made it the largest event we have had to date. Together, anything is possible. You proved that on April 2nd.
family fun night is happening on march 31st, 2022
Prelude before the big day at the park!
Be sure to join us on March 31st at the BEST STEP FORWARD GYM as we get ready for the big event at Sunbeam Lake Park on April 2nd.
What we have planned
Since we like to have fun, we are planning a variety of entertainment choices that you will not want to miss....
This includes an amazing interactive magic show and a puppet show featuring BEST STEP FORWARD, our amazing hosts for the evening. Also, since our theme is "rock and roll", what would we do without some great music to sooth your soul?
Not to mention, this is your chance to register for the big event on Saturday. Or, if you have already registered, this is your opportunity to pick up your race gear, so that when you arrive at Sunbeam Lake Park on Saturday morning, you are all set to join in all the fun without having to wait to get your official race day shirt and other items.
So, we will see you there on March 31st!

where It all started
Well, it depends on perception
From a pure non physical viewpoint, Children’s Foundation of the Imperial Valley comes from love. That is, a sincere desire to show what love is capable of doing and becoming. Perhaps when all is said and done, some may call it destiny manifested.
OK, but where did it start?
If we were to say WHERE it all started, well, that would be the Radiology Department at El Centro Regional Medical Center. A small group of health professionals came together to bring their version of passion to the forefront for the good of the children of the Imperial Valley.
A common thread to all that we do is to work hard, but at the same time, have fun making it all happen. We simply do not believe in limits. All is possible. After all, that is what love is all about.
More About Us
There are so many of us who have selflessly come forward to make Children's Foundation of the Imperial Valley events as successful as they have proven to be..
A common thread in all of us is the willingness to put forth our best effort for the benefit of the children we recognize.
We are all volunteers who take the time out of our busy schedules to come together, because we believe that we will make a difference in the lives of our children.
We thank all of you for being a part of who we are!

Imperial Valley Mentoring for success
inspiring our children today for success tomorrow
Children's Foundation of the Imperial Valley is pleased to announce our latest initiative. One that will open doors and create possibilities that perhaps did not seem possible before.
Empowering our youth to follow their dreams
Sometimes, it can be challenging for us to know where to go or who to ask about a career that we hold an interest in. Or, perhaps we have been told that a particular career choice is not financially feasible, or there is seemingly no one who can guide us and give us real life experience so that we have more assurance that we are making the right choices.
Opening doors to your future
Well, we are so excited to announce our latest initiative: Imperial Valley Mentoring for Success. With this novel program, we will partner you, the PROTEGE, with a person who is a devoted professional in the field that you are interested in learning more about.
share your dreams with us
So, what do you want to be? What interests you? Do you dream of being a Nurse Practitioner, a Graphic Designer, a Computer Analyst, or how about caring for animals or owning your own business one day? Here and now, you can know exactly what it is like to be a healthcare professional or an accountant. With Imperial Valley Mentoring for Success, you now have an opportunity to test drive that which you dream of becoming.
More about the future
We are all aware that the world is changing at a dizzy pace now. It is difficult for any one of us to know exactly what career opportunities hold promise for the future. We are poised to guide you in not only the direction you want to go, but we can provide sound advice as to what the future holds. We are here to help you!
What else?
It might be worth noting parents, that children who are part of a quality mentoring program often excel in their academic programs and studies. Mentoring programs provide hope and goals that go a long way to a brighter day today and in the future...
