More than 1,000 people participated in the Paint El Paseo Pink Walk on Saturday Oct. 13 in Palm Desert. This is the Desert Cancer Foundation’s 6th annual walk to raise funds for free breast cancer screenings.

Walkers gathered at the Gardens on El Paseo to register, take a chance on raffle prizes from local businesses, and to meet other cancer survivors and families.
