Sneak Peek: What We’ll Explore Together
REACH is thoughtfully designed to meet survivors where they are — offering practical tools, reflection, and honest conversation about life after cancer.
Across the weekend, sessions will explore topics such as:
Navigating life after treatment and redefining “normal”
Caring for your whole self — physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing
Managing long-term and late effects of cancer and its treatment
Advocating for your needs within healthcare and daily life
Grief, identity shifts, and resilience — naming what often goes unspoken
Connection and community — learning from shared experience and collective wisdom
Sessions include a mix of expert-led talks, guided reflection, and interactive discussion — creating space not just to learn, but to process and connect.
A detailed agenda and speaker lineup will be shared with registered participants closer to the event.
Pay-What-You-Can Registration (New This Year)
This year, REACH is offered using a Pay-What-You-Can registration model.
REACH requires significant investment — including food and venue costs, speaker honoraria, materials, planning, and staff time. At the same time, we believe cost should never be a barrier to survivorship education and community.
With this model:
You choose the amount that feels right for you
A minimum contribution of $20 is required to confirm your seat and support event costs
We invite you to select an amount that reflects both your circumstances and your commitment to showing up fully
This approach helps ensure participants are invested in the experience while keeping REACH accessible to all.
Event Value & Transparency
The full REACH experience is valued at $300+ per participant, based on:
Two days of facilitated programming
Food and refreshments
Participant materials and swag
Post-event content and resource access
We are able to offer Pay-What-You-Can registration thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, who help offset event costs and make this gathering possible.
If you’re able to give closer to the full value — or beyond — your contribution helps sustain REACH and future survivorship programming through Going Beyond the Pink.
No explanation is required. Simply choose what feels right for you.
Important Notes
Space is limited, and registration is required to attend
