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 Atlanta, Saturday, April 25, 2026!

PurpleStride is an amazing day where survivors, families, caregivers, friends, physicians and researchers celebrate people who are 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.
