< Back Davis’ FIT House holds benefit spin class for breast cancer awareness month GERARDO ZAVALA Nov 1, 2022 With Breast Cancer Awareness Month coming to a close, Davis’ FIT House chose to hold a Survival of the FITest PINK Spin Class Saturday – a benefit ride that donated all proceeds to the nonprofit organization Thriving Pink. “Thriving Pink provides support for those diagnosed with breast cancer and to their families as well,” Caryn DeMoura, event coordinator and spin instructor, emphasized. “They have made a huge impact in the community and FIT House is proud to be a part of their community this year and past years.” The event was a success, with 15 people attending the outdoor spin class that featured four instructors and a DJ raising $1,600 for the Yolo County nonprofit. DeMoura noted that Royal Guest House partnered with FIT House this year to benefit Thriving Pink. “We are all thankful for this wonderful community who continue to show up and support each other through the hard and good times,” she stressed. Blanche McNaughton, co-owner of FIT House, noted that the business and Thriving Pink have always had a close relationship because they shared the same building before the nonprofit outgrew the small office. She argued that it’s important to support Thriving Pink because of what they do for local women. “They actually give to women of Davis… and you can see it enriches their lives right now in a time that’s really challenging for these women,” she highlighted. “They’re experiencing something most of us can’t even relate to and we feel it’s important that it gives back to women in our community.” FIT House Davis is located at 302 G St. in downtown Davis. To learn more about the business and upcoming events, visit fithousedavis.com . Leslie Hunter, executive director for Thriving Pink, noted that the nonprofit and FIT House have partnered on several events in the past, especially in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “We appreciate the support of the FIT House owners, instructors and clients who continue to volunteer for Thriving Pink,” Hunter highlighted. “They are a special Davis business who have supported our efforts since Thriving Pink was formed six years ago.” Joni Rubin, chair of the Thriving Pink Board of Directors, argued that “the statistics are daunting,” with one in eight women in the United States diagnosed with invasive breast cancer throughout their lifetime and an estimated 3.8 million survivors. “This is a disease that impacts all of us,” she stressed. “Everyone can help by increasing awareness around prevention and early detection and also by helping to support those in our community who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.” Rubin noted that increasing awareness can help to reduce stigma and fear while also promoting early detection and prevention. “If breast cancer is caught early, the outcomes are quite positive,” she explained. “The five-year survival rate for localized invasive breast cancer is 99%, according to the American Cancer Society.” “For those of us who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, October can be a particularly difficult month with all of the reminders of our disease but seeing the level of community-wide support throughout Yolo County is a powerful and inspiring message that we are not on this journey alone.” Rubin encourages people to be more proactive about early detection and prevention and can do so by first trying to notice any changes in our bodies. “I have heard many stories of women finding their breast cancer themselves because they noticed a change – maybe a lump or a change in their skin texture – and they didn’t ignore it,” Rubin remarked. “Anyone can stop by the Thriving Pink office to pick up materials in both English and Spanish on breast self-exams.” Additionally, Rubin said regular mammogram screening exams are important for early detection noting that “the earlier breast cancer is caught, the better the outcomes.” “During COVID there was a big drop off in mammograms, so we encourage people to return for their recommended screenings,” she emphasized. “In California, the Every Woman Counts program provides free breast cancer diagnostic screening for those with financial need.” Although October is breast cancer awareness month, Rubin stressed that breast cancer continues day in and day out. She encouraged people to stop by the Thriving Pink Office between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, or Friday to speak with one of its volunteers about breast cancer and to find support for the time of their diagnosis and throughout their survivorship. “It is our hope that no one in Yolo County will ever go through breast cancer alone or without the support that they need to thrive,” she continued. “Thriving Pink serves those impacted by breast cancer in Yolo County with no cost programs and services.” The nonprofit’s new office is located at 501 Second St. in Davis.

< Back Thriving Pink’s ProspeROSA holds first ‘cafecito’ event in Woodland GERARDO ZAVALA May 21, 2023 Thriving Pink’s ProspeROSA – a program aimed at providing outreach and support to the Latino and Spanish-speaking breast cancer community – held its first “cafecito” event Saturday at City Park in Woodland. The event was the first since the program held since it held its open house in early March and welcomed several breast cancer “guerreras” – Spanish for warriors. Several “guerreras” told their stories over coffee and pan dulce highlighting their struggles ranging from chemotherapy complications to common stigmas associated with breast cancer. Letitia Garcia, a breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 2016, said this was her first time attending a Thriving Pink event. “I’ve known about the organization for about a year,” she explained. “I got this invite a couple of days ago and I said, ‘I have to go and be there with my gals,’ because we’re all going through this journey together.” She noted that the journey is a difficult one and commended the program for providing a space for the Hispanic community to speak about their experiences. “Especially our women who are not speaking, are afraid and need somebody to talk to and that they can connect with,” she stressed. “Come and join us, we’d love to have you.” Maria Del Rio, the Spanish community coordinator for the program, said events like this were created because of a lack of support for the Latino population battling breast cancer. “For Latinos, we’re very community-driven,” Del Rio remarked. “Building networks and sharing a meal, that’s meaningful and provides support.” She explained that everyone attending has gone through similar struggles and is often more understanding of each other than relatives or friends who haven’t had breast cancer before. Del Rio is herself a breast cancer survivor and argued that she would’ve benefited from a support group with other Latinas. “I was diagnosed at 27 with stage two breast cancer and… my friends were there to support me, but I couldn’t find a network of people that was my age or knew someone who has gone through this,” she recounted. When she learned about the program, Del Rio said she was thrilled to be a part of developing something for Yolo County’s Latino community. “I wish I had that when I was going through chemo and through all of my treatment, which I’m still going through now,” she highlighted. “So it’s nice to see this community being built and just being a part of that.” Dr. Alicia Silva, a chairperson for the program, spearheaded the creation of ProspeROSA after noticing that there was a lack of resources available for her Spanish-speaking patients. “Today is a very special day because this is our very first event that’s really focused on Latinas in Yolo County having a get-together,” she argued. “I think it would be amazing if we could have a Latina support group.” Silva also highlighted the need to create more awareness among the Latino community because although breast cancer rates for Latinos in Yolo County are roughly the same as the average rate for other communities, they are often diagnosed in more advanced stages leading to worse outcomes. “So this is really important and really special,” she stressed. ProspeROSA’s headquarters are located at 501 2nd St. in Davis and serve as a place for individuals to connect, build community, check out books and other resources in Spanish and English and participate in programs, according to Board of Directors Chair Joni Rubin. The program has two upcoming events – a Spanish Zoom workshop at 5:30 p.m. on June 28 focusing on self-care for breast cancer survivors, and a Spanish workshop at 5:30 p.m. on July 6 featuring a leading genetics and breast cancer doctor.

Winters PD pink patches Winters Police Department has once again launched its Pink Patch program.

The UCD Comprehensive Cancer Center offers imaging, prevention strategies, genetic counseling, risk assessment, and specialty physician-patient care to local women. Funds from the proceeds go directly to fund breast cancer research, treatment and education.
