Local action. Nationwide impact. This is PanCAN PurpleStride, the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer!

On April 29, 2023, pancreatic cancer survivors, families, caregivers, researchers and supporters took steps together at 60 PurpleStride events across the nation to honor everyone affected by the disease.

PurpleStride is the number one way PanCAN raises money to fight pancreatic cancer in a comprehensive way. Your participation and fundraising support essential research like the PanCAN Early Detection Initiative and vital programs like free support and resources from PanCAN Patient Services.

You can still join the movement to change the lives of pancreatic cancer patients. Your participation and fundraising make all the difference. Ready to take action to improve outcomes for pancreatic cancer patients? You have until June 30, 2023, to donate to your local event, a team, or a participant. And save the date for PanCAN PurpleStride 2024, happening Saturday, April 27, 2024!

Set a personal fundraising goal (we suggest a minimum of $200 per person) then take start with these four easy steps:.

1. Personalize your fundraising page with your photo and your personal story. When friends and family know why you're taking steps against pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride, they'll be more motivated to support you and this cause that you care so much about.
2. Connect your page to Facebook Fundraiser. Facebook Fundraiser creates a special page on Facebook where you can invite people to follow updates you post and to donate towards your goal. Striders who connect to Facebook Fundraiser raise 5 times more than those who don't!
3. Download the PurpleStride app. The app is another great way to personalize and send pre-written messages through email, text, and social media. We have messages for you to ask for support, and to thank those who donated.
4. Make a personal donation. If you haven't already done so, donate to your own fundraiser. Striders who make a personal donation raise twice as much as those who don't!
