QUINCY — Registration is now open for the 18th annual “Pink Pass It On in the District” 5K Walk for Breast Cancer Awareness on Oct. 26.

Proceeds benefit the Blessing Foundation Breast Center Financial Assistance Program that helps patients with a breast health-related medical need but lack the finances to address it on their own and all community resources have been exhausted.

To participate, walkers are asked for a minimum $25 donation which includes a T-shirt. Children under age 12 can walk for free. Pre-registered walkers can pick up their shirts from 2 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 25, on the Sixth Street Promenade, on Sixth Street between Maine and Hampshire. “In Honor Of” buttons will be available for purchase during shirt pick-up and during the walk.

Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. Oct. 26, with speakers starting at 9:30 a.m. The walk begins immediately after the speakers in Washington Park and goes up and down Maine, concluding in the park.
