Event Details

“I stride for my kids because they are at increased odds for pancreatic cancer based on our family history. My goal is to raise funds through PurpleStride so we can boost the amount of research to help the next generation.”
— Colleen Beeler, Strider, Volunteer & Caregiver

We can’t wait to see you at PanCAN PurpleStride Phoenix, on Saturday, April 26, 2025!

PurpleStride is an amazing day where survivors, families, caregivers, friends, physicians and researchers celebrate people currently affected, honor those we’ve lost and take steps to end pancreatic cancer.

Check out the event village, grab a snack, write on the tribute wall, take pictures with your family and friends in the photo area, and be inspired during the opening ceremony before you set off on the walk.

Event details will be updated one month before the event.

PanCAN PurpleStride would not make the impact it does for those affected by pancreatic cancer without our top fundraisers and teams. To show our appreciation for your dedication, we recognize the Top 10 national and local fundraising teams, with the Top 3 local teams and Top 3 fundraisers receiving special recognition on event day!
