Thriving Pink grew out of a desire to help family, friends and neighbors struggling with a diagnosis of breast cancer, recognizing the difficult physical, emotional and economic impact it had on their daily lives. At this time of giving, your donations can offer immediate assistance to those who are persevering through this life changing news. YOUR dollars count!
With 1 in 8 women in the United States diagnosed with invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime, there is a tremendous local need for a place to connect and receive support—and the need for our services continues to grow. Thriving Pink is steadfast and passionate in our commitment to meet the needs of the breast cancer community. Thriving Pink supports anyone in Yolo County impacted by breast cancer; all services and programs are offered at no cost and are planned and delivered by volunteers, many of whom are breast cancer survivors with a deep understanding of the cancer journey. We educate, empower and provide support from the initial time of a breast cancer diagnosis and throughout survivorship. We provide financial grants, educational workshops, professionally facilitated support groups, wellness programs, peer mentorship, retreats, and fellowship. Through our program ProspeROSA, we offer materials, mentors, and programs for the Spanish-speaking community.
Over the past eight years, Thriving Pink has
Currently, we reach over 1,000 breast cancer survivors, donors, volunteers, and community members from Yolo County and beyond with our work. We engage a broad cross section of the local community - small businesses, healthcare delivery systems, family supporters and individuals - in outreach, education and awareness activities.
Thriving Pink helps those in Yolo County impacted by breast cancer to thrive through a compassionate network of support and resources in partnership with the community. Our vision is that no one in Yolo County goes through breast cancer alone, whether newly diagnosed or in long-term survivorship.
What's raised here, stay's here! Donations will support our ongoing programs including financial assistance for breast cancer patients during treatment; purchase of essential items such as mastectomy vests, cold caps, head scarves, and English and Spanish-language materials for our resource and lending library; gift cards for people experiencing breast cancer and acute needs; educational and experiential programs (healing arts workshops, movement therapy classes, etc.); professionally facilitated support groups; and, materials for care quilts and other personal items made by volunteers and shared with the breast cancer community.
We appreciate in-kind donations of breast cancer related books, wearable items helpful to those experiencing cancer, and gift cards for those in need during treatment. We always welcome volunteers to participate in outreach activities, office work, and board and program committees.
At Thriving Pink, we work together with our breast cancer community, healthcare providers, other non-profit organizations, business community, funders, and volunteers to respond to the needs of anyone in Yolo County impacted by breast cancer. We understand that there is a disparity in breast cancer risk, access to resources, and health outcomes. Thriving Pink actively invests in outreach to underserved areas of our county and offers programs and services to meet these local community needs. We create and implement programs that are language concordant and culturally sensitive. In 2021 we launched our ProspeRosa program to better serve the Latino community. We seek participant engagement and input to help ensure that all programs are aligned with our mission, impactful for the community we serve, inclusive of all people, and delivered in a manner that embodies our core values of caring, respect, positivity, and friendship. We evaluate our programs and services to best serve the needs of our diverse breast cancer community. We are fully committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, volunteers, contractors, vendors, and community.
