A Community Comes Together

More than 50 people registered for the Now We Thrive Open House, bringing together survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community supporters for an afternoon of storytelling, music, conversation, and connection.

The event introduced the mission of Now We Thrive and the programs we're building to help people move from surviving to thriving through storytelling, music, education, and community.

Attendees shared personal stories, formed new connections, explored Global Media Studios, and learned about opportunities to find support, build community, and help shape the future of survivorship.

WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCED

  • "Now We Thrive is about hope, it's about support, it's about encouragement, it's about picking up where you left off and even creating a new life. So if you have a heart to give and serve, maybe if you or someone you know is a cancer survivor, tap in with Now We Thrive."

  • “I felt seen today more than I've felt in a long time. I think that says it all.”

  • “When I connected with Now We Thrive, I was like, this is the opportunity for me to speak about what I'm going through. And so I'm happy to be here and I'm definitely happy to connect.”

  • “Getting diagnosed with cancer is like being put on a very fast moving train. Then you finish treatment, you're kicked off the train, and you're left standing there wondering, what do I do now? I think by having Now We Thrive available, you'll know that there's a station ahead, and it's full of support and community for you.”

  • "I think this is a worldwide movement. Now We Thrive has become reality today, and I think this is just the beginning."
