- $178,669 spent. Symposiums: Survive & Thrive Texas Oncology Foundation's signature cancer and caregiver programming, Survive and Thrive, marries the clinical aspects of cancer care with the non-clinical. At its core, Survive and Thrive is an educational intervention that aims to improve a cancer survivor's future wellness through health promotion education, community interaction and engagement, and reinforcement of post-treatment follow up. Originally implemented as in-person, one-day events, we were able to adapt the programming to a virtual platform when pandemic concerns warranted. Now, our in person symposiums and virtual camps webinars and support groups successfully connect those affected by cancer regardless of location. Through our in person symposiums and virtual camps and webinars, we can deliver pertinent medical information, valuable tools and emotional support to cancer survivors and their families. Over 7000 people have been reached through our Survive and Thrive program since 2016
