We’re excited to announce that BOOK IT is finally back as an in-person charity walk/run, after a 4 year hiatus! Currently, ECBC is giving away 500+ new books monthly to patients atCHOC Children’s Hospital (largely to oncology warriors and other kids battling life-altering illness), and our volunteers are reading aloud at patients’ bedside. Please join us in Irvine on the morning of Sept 4, and help us to sustain our book and reading programs at CHOC! You can register quickly by clicking the graphic below, and enter BOOKIT2023_earlyreg20 for an early registration discount of 20% per registrant. Also please consider creating a walking/running team and recruit others to join your team (works great for friends/family, sports teams, corporate team…any group!).
We also are looking for sponsors at most levels including Title Sponsor. To learn more about sponsorship opportunities, click on the “become a sponsor” tab on the BOOK IT registration site, or email ali@ECbookclub for more information.
This year’s BOOK IT will feature:
- 1K Fun Run and 5K Walk/Run
- Race warm-up led by PaKua Master David Clawson and CHOC mascot CHOCO
- T-shirt, medal, and electronic timing results
- Book character costume contest with prizes
- On-site booksellers + book drive, with raffle for donating a book

Thank you for helping ECBC to help Orange County’s hospitalized kids thrive with books and reading. We hope to see you on September 4 at the start line!
