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.

After surpassing 8,000 total cases on Dec. 30, it took the county just nine days to top 9,000, bringing the county’s total to 9,203 cases as of Saturday.

Owen Yancher: Done with my 7-day free trial of 2021; how do I unsubscribe?
ANY TAKERS? … Since seeing the New Year’s First Davis Baby Contest advertised in The Enterprise last week, I have been determined to take the crown (and, obviously, the myriad gift cards that come along with it).
The contest rules do not stipulate the need to be the father of the first child born in the new year in order to obtain the prizes. The only specifications are that “the baby must be born at Sutter Davis Hospital” and that “one parent must contact The Davis Enterprise office and provide the necessary information verifying the child as the first baby of 2021.”
