< Back Thriving Pink: Pinktober gratitude SPECIAL TO THE ENTERPRISE Nov 28, 2022 During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the Thriving Pink team of dedicated supporters and board members reached out to many individuals and businesses in Yolo County. The volunteer-driven organization, which is led by many breast cancer survivors/thrivers, wants to ensure the local nonprofit will continue to grow and sustain its core services and programs. In October this year, over 140 individuals and businesses in Yolo County participated in and donated to the PINKtober outreach campaign for Thriving Pink. Local businesses have been particularly generous knowing that 100% of the donations will stay in this community to directly help local breast cancer survivors. “I was not even old enough for a mammogram when I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in March 2021. I had moved here from the east coast, away from my family, and found a lump during a self-exam. In the past eighteen months, I went through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. I am thankful for Thriving Pink and the great support from this community,” said Tatum Clinton-Selin, a Thriving Pink grant recipient. “Thriving Pink’s mentoring program and their Pink Speaker Series workshops led by medical professionals are unparalleled among breast cancer organizations.” “It is truly heart-warming to see so many generous individuals and businesses making a difference to help local breast cancer survivors thrive,” shares Leslie Hunter, Executive Director of Thriving Pink. “As a community owned grocery store, the customers of the Davis Food Co-op truly care about how their money positively impacts their neighbors,” said Vince Marchese, Marketing Manager Davis Food Co-op. “It is important for us, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to show our support through the Round Up at the Register program to raise money for Thriving Pink’s programs to help local breast cancer patients and survivors.” Jeremy Brooks of Brooks Painting shares, “Giving back is one of our company’s core values. All of our team members step up to support Thriving Pink. We personally know many who have benefitted from this wonderful organization.” A gift to Thriving Pink is truly a gift our local community. FIT House, Balance Point Pilates, Get Fit Davis, and Jazzercise Davis were among many local businesses which hosted class fundraisers for the worthy cause. “We believe Thriving Pink is an incredibly important resource for the women of Yolo County impacted by a diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as for their families,” said Stephanie Tooker Jordan, Jazzercise Davis Owner and Instructor. We are truly grateful for the many individuals and local businesses who have recently given so generously through our PINKtober fundraising campaign to support Thriving Pink’s services and programs for our breast cancer community.

The Granting Pink Program, led by a committee with Rose Cholewinski of SwimAmerica Davis, provides financial assistance with individual grants to directly support local survivors with medical treatment and quality of life care. The Thriving Pink team appreciates all the dedicated volunteers and supporters who make this all possible. “Thriving Pink is also expanding its programs, workshops, and partnerships, over the next few months, with a new Office & Community Room located at 501 2 nd Street in Davis downtown,” says Joni Rubin. “This beautiful space donated by Harris Liu, owner of Woodland McDonald’s, provides a home for our community, and ensures local donations directly help our breast cancer community of survivors and thrivers.” Thriving Pink’s programs and workshops are provided at no cost to the community.

< Back Thompson selects Liu as Yolo County Woman of the Year Rebecca Wasik Mar 4, 2025 Each year, Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, recognizes one woman from each of the districts he represents as ‘Woman of the Year’. All of the honorees were celebrated at a reception at Trinchero Winery in St. Helena on Sunday, March 2, including this year’s Yolo County Woman of the Year, Mary Yin Liu. "I am truly humbled and honored," said Liu. "I first met congress member Thompson nearly three decades ago when I graduated law school and moved to Northern California to work as a deputy district attorney." Liu has lived in Davis for 23 years with her husband Harris and two adult sons, who are alumni of Davis High School. "Mary Yin Liu has gone above and beyond in serving our community, both as a founder of a local nonprofit, and a leader in charitable organizations,” said Thompson. “Her wisdom, leadership, and dedication to serving others make her such an excellent leader. I am honored to recognize her as Yolo County’s Woman of the Year.” She has served as Vice President of the Solano County Women Lawyers Association; on the Yolo County Planning Commission; is a McDonald’s Franchisee with 21 restaurants in Yolo, Solano and Sacramento counties and was the first minority and female President for the Northern California Operators Association. Liu also founded Davis non-profit, Thriving Pink. Thriving Pink is dedicated to helping those impacted by breast cancer thrive through free mentor programs, financial assistance, support groups, educational workshops and other valuable resources. "The Pink Team is incredibly inspiring," Liu said. "We have all been part of a loved one's journey to fight this disease, and many of our volunteers are breast cancer survivors or thrivers themselves." CC and Regina Yin, Liu’s parents, founded the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs Association (APAPA), of which Liu is now CEO. APAPA is a non-profit organization that advances leadership and civic engagement in Asian Pacific Islander communities. "APAPA will be entering its 25th year silver anniversary next year, and there is so much to celebrate," remarked Liu. In her role at APAPA, Liu has expanded the non-profit’s internship program and led the APAPA team to organize the inaugural California Asian American Advocacy Day at the state capitol last year. This year's Advocacy Day will be held on April 28. "There are so many incredible trailblazers who have come before us, and who will come after us,” said Liu. “I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to my community, and I look forward to working with and seeing the next generation of leaders make an even greater impact.” In 2024, Liu was recognized as a Top 20 AAPI Change Maker by The Sacramento Bee. In 2022, she was selected as Woman of the Year by Assemblymember Jim Cooper. A complete list of Thompson’s 2025 winners include: Wilda Shock – Lake County Woman of the Year Norma Ferriz de Massaro – Napa County Woman of the Year Lisa Hilas – Solano County Woman of the Year Thea Hensel – Sonoma County Woman of the Year Mary Yin Liu – Yolo County Woman of the Year Previous Next
