Healthkick
Each year, Master Lee’s Talium of Irvine and Tustin organizes a fun board break-a-thon event to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). To date we have raised over $100,000 and continue to grow each year in both goals and donations. This event is possible due largely in part to the generous sponsorship and support of local businesses, family and friends and to the many volunteers who make it possible.
