SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE
Jul 1, 2022
Thriving Pink appreciates all the medical providers and professional facilitators for their monthly “Pink Speaker Series” workshops. These workshops are informative, open to the general public, and provide a much needed network of support and resources for those in Yolo County diagnosed with breast cancer. An open Q & A session is available at the end of each workshop as well.
Our upcoming workshops include a Thriving Pink Spanish speaking Breast Cancer — Know Your Options Workshop from 7-8:30 p.m. on Monday, July 11. The workshop will be presented in Spanish and led by Thriving Pink board member Dr. Alivia Silva, a surgeon at Sutter Hospital. The presentation will cover detection and treatment options.
Thriving Pink Monthly Morning Walk from 9-10 a.m. on Saturday, July 19, at North Star Pond in Davis (Parking at Tandem Properties, 3500 Anderson Road, Davis). This is a scenic, short loop, at your own pace (about 1.5 miles or more). Thriving Pink Peers will be helping to lead the walk for the group.
Thriving Pink Health & Wellness Workshop from 7-8:30 p.m. on Monday, July 25, led by Dr. Karen Mo, a family physician with UC Davis Health System. This workshop is for breast cancer survivors and anyone interested in achieving their optimal health through self-care modalities, including sleep, pain management, supplements and nutrition.

We are looking forward to opening a new Pink Place (Office & Community Room) soon in Davis downtown by early October this year at 501 2nd Street! We will be hosting and leading support groups, educational workshops, our financial assistance grant program, and one-on-one pink peer mentoring support for newly diagnosed women in-person (with virtual options).
The good work of Thriving Pink is made possible by our wonderful and caring community of volunteers. This summer, as we prepare for October, a time which focuses on breast cancer awareness month activities, we are seeking additional volunteers to help us with our core programs, from outreach at various community events to distributing comfort bags at local hospitals and healthcare systems, coordinating our financial grant assistance program, and helping with office work and data entry.
Our Thriving Pink team is dedicated to making a positive difference for those impacted by breast cancer. For more information about volunteering for Thriving Pink, please email info@thrivingpink.org.
