On Saturday, October 10th, 2026, over 1,100 participants came together at the San Antonio Police Training Academy for the 14th Annual Paint the Parkway Pink 5K Fun Run, proudly sponsored by University Health! Whether you were running in honor of a loved one, in memory of a hero, or celebrating your own journey, you helped turn the Police Training Academy PINK. 💗

A BIG THANK YOU to University Health, the Holt family and all sponsors! You made this day possible, and we are so grateful for your leadership and commitment to our community. Thank you for standing with us as we work to help every patient and family THRIVE.

Thank you, San Antonio Police Training Academy! We are deeply grateful for the use of your grounds and for the support your team and cadets provided throughout the day. Your hospitality and hard work helped make this run possible and kept everything smooth for our pink warriors and survivors.

Survivors, warriors, friends, family, and neighbors filled the course with energy and purpose, and together we showed what it means to THRIVE as a community. Runners and walkers received commemorative race t-shirts, while young runners ages 8 and under received special ribbons and goodie bags to celebrate their finish. Those who joined the Chappy B Mile Walk enjoyed an untimed, fun walk open to all ages and abilities.

The After Party was the perfect finish! Participants kept the celebration going until 11:30 AM at the Paint the Parkway Pink After Party, sponsored by The START Center for Cancer Care. Guests enjoyed delicious food from BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and The Magnolia Pancake Haus, along with live music from Alamo City Heat. It was a joyful way to connect with survivors, participants, families, and friends to raise awareness for breast cancer.

To our sponsors and donors: Thank you! Your generosity makes a real difference for patients and families in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Every dollar, every donation, and every act of support helps ThriveWell continue this important work, and we can’t wait to Paint the Parkway Pink with you again next year on Sunday, October 9th, 2027!

A big thank you to photographer Suzanne Nolan, who donated her services.

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Betsy “Chappy B” Buhler following her long and courageous battle with cancer.

Chappy B was known, loved, and admired by so many. Her strength, faith, compassion, and unwavering spirit touched countless lives and made a lasting impact throughout our community.

Her passing leaves a tremendous hole in the hearts of all who knew her. While we grieve this immeasurable loss, we will continue to honor Chappy B’s legacy at the Paint the Parkway Pink race through the Chappy B Mile, celebrating the love, hope, courage, and determination she shared so generously with others.

We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and everyone whose life was changed by knowing her. Chappy B will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
