Thriving Pink supports individuals in Yolo County impacted by breast cancer. All services and programs are offered at no cost and are planned and delivered with breast cancer survivors and other volunteers. We educate, empower and provide support from the initial time of a breast cancer diagnosis, throughout survivorship. We provide grants, workshops, support groups, peer mentorship, retreats, and fellowship. We also support families and children impacted by breast cancer, care providers, and people with a family history of breast cancer. Through our program ProspeRosa, we offer materials, mentors, and targeted programs for Spanish speakers.
Currently, we reach over 1,000 Yolo County breast cancer survivors, donors, volunteers, and community members with our work. We engage a broad cross section of the local community - small businesses, healthcare delivery systems, and individuals - in outreach, education and awareness activities.
In 2022, we opened an office and community gathering/resource space for the Yolo County breast cancer community. With 1 in 8 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime there is a tremendous local need for a place to connect. Also, and in light of health, social, and economic hardships imposed by COVID these past few years, the need for our services continues to grow and we are steadfast and passionate in our commitment to meet those needs.
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); 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 and 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 and, 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.
