Get ready to watch hope blossom at our annual Cancer Link Hope Blooms in Pink Luncheon! Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 16, 2025, at the enchanting Jungle Island, where we’re expecting a crowd of enthusiastic supporters, each one contributing to a garden of hope and change. Guests can expect to see multiple forms of entertainment including a fashion show by Julian Change and a silent auction with incredible prizes.

About Cancer Link
Founded in 1987, Cancer Link is dedicated to the eradication of breast cancer through research, education, early detection and community outreach at the Braman Family Breast Cancer Institute at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Thirty years ago, Marlene Berg founded Cancer Link with a small group of women to increase awareness of breast cancer and raise funds for research. Since then, the all-volunteer nonprofit has raised nearly $3 million to support Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
“We are all grateful for the great care provided by Sylvester’s medical team, and proud to support their research,” said Berg. Noting that the dynamics of breast cancer have changed in the past 30 years, Berg said, “This disease is affecting women at a younger age, and men as well. There have been tremendous advances in surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment, but we still have a long way to go.”
