GET INVOLVED · ANGELS

Become an Angel

Our Angels receive exclusive photos and updates on patient status, and get to know the individuals receiving surgery. When you become an Angel, you become part of someone’s road to recovery.

Operation Walk Los Angeles is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

ANGELS LUNCHEON

A Celebration of Restored Mobility

Tuesday, December 8

We invite you to experience our community at the annual Operation Walk Angels Luncheon on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Annandale Golf Club in Pasadena.


The afternoon’s highlight features a presentation by guest speakers Dr. Andrew Spitzer and Paulina Andujo, RN, of Cedars-Sinai Hospital, sharing insights into joint replacement surgeries and post-operative recovery, followed by an interactive Q&A.
