  MORE THAN $1.24 MILLION RAISED SINCE 2003

Over the past 21 years, this breast cancer awareness luncheon has raised more than $1.24 million to support local breast health initiatives, further cancer awareness, and serve breast cancer patients through low-cost mammograms and other financial support.

ALL FUNDS REMAIN IN THE BRAZOS VALLEY

The Surviving & Thriving Luncheon is hosted by Pink Alliance, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the Brazos Valley’s advocate for breast health and cancer support. Pink Alliance board members work with a group of dedicated community volunteers in hosting this annual luncheon. All funds raised from this luncheon remain in the 7-county region of the Brazos Valley to serve and support local breast cancer patients and advance breast health and cancer awareness efforts through Pink Alliance.

In 2016, Pink Alliance launched its Pink Alliance Grant Program to provide funding for important breast health and cancer initiatives in the Brazos Valley.  During the first two years, Pink Alliance distributed over $223,000 in grants, providing direct support for local patients and countless others indirectly.  In 2017, grant funding provided 547 mammograms, 13 ultrasounds, and 2 biopsies.   During 2018, Pink Alliance awarded $100,000 in grants to 6 organizations and in 2020, Pink Alliance awarded an additional $133,500 in grants to 6 local nonprofits for mammogram programs, ultrasounds and preventative breast health care. During 2022, Pink Alliance awarded $125,000 in grants to 5 nonprofit organizations to provide breast cancer treatments and survivor services. Your donation and support of this luncheon has contributed to $602,227 in local breast cancer grants since 2016.

During 2023, Pink Alliance distributed over $97,000 in direct financial support for 63 low-income breast cancer patients. From January through May of 2024, Pink Alliance has provided $52K+ in direct support. Over the past 8 years, Pink Alliance has distributed over $683K in direct financial support to breast cancer patients!

Pink Alliance continues to support breast cancer patients who attend Pink Alliance Support Group Meetings which meet during the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.

BENEFITING BREAST CANCER PATIENTS

As the community’s premiere women’s health awareness event, Surviving & Thriving continues to touch the lives of breast cancer patients, survivors and women.  In so doing, the committee remains focused on its initial goal – to provide resources and support to local breast cancer patients and recognize breast cancer survivors. If you are undergoing cancer treatments or know someone who could benefit from services provided by Pink Alliance, please contact us.

A special thanks to the countless medical professionals and business sponsors who continue to support and advocate for this important women’s health issue.
