Croquet for Cancer
We wish to share an update regarding Croquet for Cancer. While the 2023 croquet tournament generated over $6,500 in direct donations to the Penn State Cancer Institute CARE Center, it did not attract sufficient sponsorship dollars to support the cost of holding such an event. Therefore, at its annual meeting in November 2023, the THRIVE Board of Directors decided to pause croquet during our 2024 fundraising season and to reimagine a more successful croquet tournament in the future. Thank you, as always, for your consideration and support.
Our sponsors make it possible for THRIVE to continue its support for the Penn State Cancer Institute CARE (Cancer Assistance and Resource Education) Center and its whole person care initiatives.

A special thank you for our event volunteers …
THRIVE appreciates each of you and the invaluable support you provide to assure the tournament’s success.
Simply put, we could not hold this event without you.
Your generosity inspires hope and courage, particularly for those confronted with a cancer diagnosis, its treatment
and the road to recovery. We pause to honor each of them, their caregivers and the healthcare team members entrusted with their care. May they–as well as each of us–fully embrace the gifts of generosity that enable us to THRIVE … for life, for good!
