Registration is now open for the 18th annual “Pink Pass It On in the District” 5K Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness. The walk takes place Saturday, October 26, 2024. Proceeds benefit the Blessing Foundation Breast Center Financial Assistance Program available to patients who have a breast health-related medical need, but lack the finances to address it on their own, and all community resources have been exhausted.
Printable walk registration forms are available at www.pinkpassiton.com or registration can be done on-line at www.blessinghealth.org/pink5k. Registration is accepted up to and on the day of the walk.
To participate, walkers are asked for a minimum $25 donation which includes a t-shirt. Children under 12 can walk for free.
Pre-registered walkers can pick up their shirts on Friday, October 25, on the 6th Street Promenade, on 6th Street between Maine and Hampshire, from 2:00 – 6:00 pm. “In Honor Of” buttons will be available for purchase during shirt pick-up and during the walk.
On Saturday, October 26, registration will begin at 8:30 am with speakers starting at 9:30 am. The walk begins immediately after the speakers in Washington Park and goes up and down Maine Street, concluding back in the park. Several raffle drawings will be held at the park immediately after the walk. Those whose names are drawn must be present to win.
