Our signature luncheon returns in 2026, and the excitement is already building. Conquering Cancer in Every Color is more than an event—it is a powerful gathering of survivors, caregivers, community leaders, and advocates united by one shared purpose: surrounding those impacted by cancer with hope, support, and community. This inspiring afternoon fuels ThriveWell’s mission by providing patient assistance programs that deliver critical financial relief, transportation, lodging, and access to free exercise, nutrition, and wellness programs, allowing local cancer patients and their families to focus on healing and hope rather than hardship. 

We are honored to welcome Marc and Paige Strode as Co-Chairs of the 2026 luncheon. Marc brings a deeply personal connection to this cause. As a cancer survivor himself, Marc understands firsthand the physical, emotional, and financial toll a diagnosis can take on individuals and families.

His journey has shaped his passion for ensuring patients receive not only excellent medical care, but also the support systems needed to navigate life during and after cancer. 

Together, Marc and Paige embody the heart of ThriveWell’s mission by championing community, compassion, and action.

Their leadership helps amplify the impact of this event and the countless lives it touches throughout our community.

A limited amount of sponsorship opportunities are still available! We invite you to be part of an event that truly changes lives, walking alongside patients and families every step of the cancer journey.
