This program developed in collaboration with the local Thrive to Survive cancer support organization, assists those who are living with, through or beyond cancer, to begin to heal through participating in physical and social activities that focus on strengthening the whole person in a safe and supportive environment.
The Thrive program is offered at no cost to the survivors and because of that, we rely 100% on donations from the community to make this possible.
Please consider helping provide the gift of hope to people in our community who are experiencing cancer through your support of our 2019 “One Community, One Impact” Annual Support Campaign!
Through the generous support of community focused donors like yourself, the Geneva Y was able to develop our new Thrive to Survive Cancer Recovery Fitness Program in 2018.
