FUNDRAISING INCENTIVES

PanCAN PurpleStride wouldn't be the success it is without you. That’s why we want to recognize and reward Striders who reach special fundraising milestones. Learn about those milestones below and check out the event deadlines page to ensure you reach these levels in time to receive the benefits. Thanks for your incredible fundraising!


Recognition Deadlines

T-SHIRTS

Everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $50 or more by event day will receive the official PanCAN PurpleStride 2023 T-shirt, available for pick up at your event. We’ll do our best to ensure supply and preferred sizes, but T-shirts are subject to availability.

All pancreatic cancer survivors who register for PurpleStride are eligible to receive a special survivor T-shirt with no fundraising minimum required.

PanCAN PurpleStride Grand Club

The PurpleStride Grand Club is a nationwide program recognizing participants who individually raise $1,000 or more for their PurpleStride event.

As a participant, we know you give your time and energy to fight pancreatic cancer and the PurpleStride Grand Club gives us the opportunity to show our gratitude for your efforts. Grand Club members receive an exclusive gift as a token of our appreciation (see this year's gift pictured below!), and enjoy access to celebrations, exclusive webinars, etc. Grand Club members are among our most dedicated and loyal supporters, and we are so grateful!

Because of you, PanCAN is able to advance scientific research, including early detection initiatives and new treatment approaches; build volunteer relationships in local communities; provide free, personalized information about treatment options, diet, and resources to patients and caregivers and advocate for increased research funding. $1,000 can support one of our research grantees’ work for 6 weeks, exploring early detection and new treatments.
