Get Involved

Families in crisis need more than compassion — they need action. Our community events are where generosity and hope come to life. Whether it’s running, golfing, or gathering at a local brewery, every event raises critical support and reminds families that they are not alone.

TOY DRIVE

As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to join the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in spreading hope to families in need. Each year, our Annual Toy Drive brings joy to children and families caring for critically ill children as part of our Season of Hope.

Together, we can make this season brighter for over 100 families in our community.

Warrior Spirit 5k

We will hold our 17th Annual Warrior Spirit 5K Run/Walk & Family Festival on Saturday, February 7th, 2026! This event is a fantastic opportunity for our families and friends to come together and demonstrate their support while raising funds for children battling life-threatening illnesses, diseases, and disorders.

​

Families from our organization, currently undergoing treatment, can form teams and gather donations to aid in their fight.


It's a heartwarming day filled with joy! The entire San Diego community comes out to lend their support, with firefighters grilling hot dogs, Carlsbad High School cheerleaders cheering, miniature therapy horses, and sky jumpers, all united in showing these families and children that they are not alone. Mark your calendars for our next 5K Run/Walk and family festival on Saturday, February 7, 2026. Don't miss out on this meaningful event!
