Flock of pink

Second annual Flock Walk supports cancer patients in Columbia Basin

MOSES LAKE — A sea of pink lined the Gavinski Trail at Neppel Landing on Saturday as dozens of community members gathered for the second annual Flock Walk, raising money and awareness for the Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation. Flamingos, chalk messages and bright shirts marked the path as roughly 60 participants walked together in support of friends, family members and neighbors affected by cancer. The event raised $4,600, according to organizers, with funds going directly toward services for local cancer patients. “It’s events like these in the community that allow us to continue doing what we do,” said Amanda Carpenter, community relations coordinator for the Columbia Basin Cancer Foundation. “It helps us continue serving our clients throughout Grant and Adams counties and helps more people know that we’re here.”
