HELPING CANCER SURVIVORS GO FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING

Our annual Surviving to Thriving event brings survivors together for resources, inspiration, and a celebration of survivorship — combining community support, an uplifting performance, and practical tools to thrive.

Just $50 gives one cancer survivor a seat at Surviving to Thriving.


OUR VISION

We envision a world where every cancer survivor has access to the resources, inspiration, and community needed to thrive — not just physically, but emotionally, socially, and creatively. We believe that through connection, healthy habits, and celebration, survivors can live lives of meaning, resilience, and joy.

OUR MISSION

We support survivors by creating inspiring experiences, connecting them with community resources, and encouraging habits of health, resilience, and joy. Through storytelling, music, education, and collaboration, we help survivors thrive in every aspect of life.

OUR STORY

Now We Thrive was founded by cancer survivor and musician Tom Willner, who discovered the healing power of music and storytelling during his own journey. What began as a personal expression of hope has grown into a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting others through programs that inspire, educate, and connect.
