Paint El Paseo Pink!

Form a team now and get ready to walk for cancer in October.

Desert Cancer Foundation will hold its annual walk on Saturday October 15th on El Paseo. In its 5th year, the "Paint El Paseo Pink" event helps raise vital funds for breast cancer and walkers are encouraged to show up in pink clothes to be part of the colorful visual parade in solidarity for the cause.

It's a great thing to do with friends and a good way to get the body moving after the summer and before the holiday season hits.

To sign up as an individual walker, or to form a team, anyone can register online. By registering online, you will have the opportunity to email potential supporters who can donate right online in a safe, secure fashion. This allows you to keep tabs on how much money you've raised as well as encourage others striving to do the same.

Desert Cancer Foundation is a vital asset to our community and is well deserving of support. For over a decade the non-profit has been helping cancer patients who lack insurance or sufficient funds to pay for their treatment. Since its inception, DCF has paid for cancer related screening, diagnosis and treatment for a sum valued at around 22 million dollars.

Every little bit counts, so sign up today and start lacing up those shoes for Fall!
