Supporting Diamond Children’s Medical Center

Diamond Children’s Medical Center serves as a critical resource for pediatric care in Southern Arizona, providing advanced treatment and compassionate support for children and families during their most difficult moments.

Proceeds from the Lakeside Run help ensure specialized care remains accessible close to home, so families can focus on healing without the burden of traveling far for treatment.
