Dancing For The Survivors 2026

We’re excited to bring Dancing For The Survivors® to Detroit as Pink Fund celebrates its 20th Anniversary in a BIG way.
Now in its 14th year, Dancing for the Survivors® will welcome up to 600 guests for an unforgettable evening celebrating the strength and resilience of those impacted by breast cancer while commemorating Pink Fund's 20th Anniversary. Through inspiring stories and moving dance performances by survivors, those living with metastatic disease, and tributes to loved ones, the event honors the many journeys touched by breast cancer.
Guests will enjoy a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, a plated dinner, live music, silent and live auctions, a paddle raise, and, in celebration of this milestone year, a high-energy afterglow.
More than a gala, Dancing for the Survivors® raises awareness of the financial challenges many breast cancer patients face during treatment. Every dollar raised helps Pink Fund provide financial assistance for essential living expenses, allowing patients in active treatment to focus on healing instead of financial stress.
No one should have to choose between their chemo or their car payment.
Meet our Dancers

Rachel Decker
After navigating breast cancer treatment with the support and resources I needed, I'm proud to support Pink Fund.

Jack Howard
My breast cancer journey transformed my relationship with money, teaching me that true wealth isn't measured by what we have but by the ability to live with purpose, joy, and peace. This is why I'm proud to support Pink Fund and help ensure patients in active treatment can focus on healing instead of financial stress.

Molly MacDonald
My own experience with the financial challenges of breast cancer inspired me to found Pink Fund, and today I'm raising funds to help patients in active treatment focus on recovery—not bills. Your support provides critical financial assistance when it is needed most.

Stacy Russo
Hi, I'm a 5-year breast cancer survivor, founder of Survive & Thrive, and proud Pink Fund Ambassador, dancing to support breast cancer patients so they can focus on recovery instead of worrying about paying their bills.
