Join Thriving Pink this October for PINKtober, our annual campaign during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Together, we raise awareness, build community, and create local impact for breast cancer Thrivers in Yolo County.

1 in 8 women and approximately 1 in 700 men will face breast cancer in their lifetime. This year, Thriving Pink celebrates 10 years of impact, with over $431,000 in individual grants awarded and more than 500 workshops and support offerings, all at no cost to participants.

Featured events and sponsors:

All month: Every Mikuni location is offering an oyster appetizer and two white wines, with a percentage of proceeds benefiting Thriving Pink.

Friday, October 9: Dutch Bros donates $1 per drink at locations in Davis, Dixon, Woodland, and West Sacramento.
