Pink Party 2026: Fun, Food and Fellowship with a Purpose

Pink Party 2026, sponsored by University Health, was an unforgettable evening of Fun, Food, and Fellowship with a Purpose! We are humbled by your generosity, which made the evening a tremendous success. The celebration benefits ThriveWell Cancer Foundation’s Diva Program, and the outpouring of support from sponsors, donors, and community members helps provide resources to empower cancer patients to thrive.

From survivor celebrations to the energizing performances by ThriveWell’s Dancing Divas, heartfelt patient testimonials, an exciting silent auction, and a vibrant pink market, every moment reflects the resilience and strength of our pink sisters affected by cancer. Wendy Scott, Wanda Huffins, and Christina Martinez shared their personal stories with us. These three remarkable Divas embody the spirit and resilience at the center of our mission.

In Loving Memory and Celebration

We held close the memory of Betsy “Chappy B” Buhler during Pink Party 2026. Her strength, faith, compassion, and unwavering spirit touched countless lives, and her legacy continues to inspire.

An Impactful Evening

What an incredible milestone! Together, the Pink Party and Paint the Parkway Pink 5K raised an amazing $320,000 to support ThriveWell’s mission. 100 percent of Pink Party proceeds go directly to ThriveWell Cancer Foundation’s Diva Program.

This free health and wellness initiative delivered over 2,900 health and wellness classes to cancer patients and survivors in 2025 across San Antonio and New Braunfels. These classes represent moments of healing, connection, and empowerment for those on their cancer journey.

We extend our deepest thanks to University Health, whose leadership as Presenting Sponsor made this celebration possible. We are equally grateful to every donor and sponsor whose generosity ensures ThriveWell can continue offering these vital programs at no cost to those who need them the most.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to Dr. Jean Holt and all the members of the Pink Party Steering Committee for their dedication, vision, and commitment to creating an event that honors and supports our community. Pink Party demonstrates the power of community coming together around a shared purpose.

When survivors, supporters, community partners, and volunteers unite to support our pink sisters, we create meaningful change in the lives of cancer patients and survivors.
