Carson Tahoe Health
Think Pink+ is Carson Tahoe Health’s annual community event supporting patients, survivors, caregivers, and families affected by every type of cancer. The 2026 event will take place Friday, October 2, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Red’s Old 395 Grill in Carson City. All proceeds from the event’s raffle will benefit the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center and help support local cancer care in Northern Nevada.
What Does the “+” in Think Pink+ Mean?
In case you were wondering what the “+” means, it represents every type of cancer and every person affected by it.
Think Pink+ builds upon the familiar message of cancer awareness while extending support beyond any one diagnosis or awareness color. It is about healing cancer of all stripes and standing beside patients, survivors, caregivers, families, and loved ones throughout their cancer journeys.
What Can Guests Expect at Think Pink+?
Think Pink+ will bring Carson Tahoe Health team members and the Northern Nevada community together for an evening centered on hope, connection, and local cancer care.
Carson Tahoe Health team members are creating themed baskets that will be raffled during the event at Red’s. Guests can purchase raffle tickets and enter for a chance to win their favorite baskets.
All raffle proceeds will directly benefit the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center and Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center, helping support cancer care and resources for patients and families throughout Northern Nevada.
Each basket represents more than the items inside. It reflects Carson Tahoe Health’s team members coming together to support their neighbors during some of life’s most difficult moments.
