Thriving Pink: Your story matters
Support Local Journalism
This year, rather than hosting a customary gala dinner event with a stage and microphone to recognize honorees, we are taking a two-fold approach. We are sharing stories of local breast cancer to spread awareness, and affirming our mission to help those impacted by breast cancer in our local community to thrive with a compassionate network of support and resources.
Why do we embrace this cause and this Thriving Pink community? For us, it’s personal we’re supporting our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and neighbors. Thriving Pink is the only local nonprofit organization which focuses on serving and supporting the needs of local breast cancer survivors.

For the past five years, the nonprofit Thriving Pink has been reaching out to local breast cancer survivors to provide meaningful support with financial assistance through their Granting Pink program, support groups, and open-door wellness and educational workshops.
“Thriving Pink really stands out because we personally know all the survivors we are helping from our local Yolo County community,” shares Raychel Kubby Adler, vice-president of Thriving Pink. “They are our neighbors, friends, family members and co-workers.”
