EVENT INCENTIVES & DEADLINES
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 and our top fundraisers and teams. See below for the benefits and deadlines from PurpleStride 2024.
Fundraising for PurpleStride 2024 is open until June 30, which means you can still raise $1,000 or more to become a PanCAN PurpleStride 2024 Grand Club member and earn the exclusive Grand Club hoodie — here are tips for getting there.
Please note all fundraising benefits were based on the fundraising totals shown on purplestride.org at the time of the deadline. We hope to have information about PurpleStride 2025 benefits and deadlines by the end of the summer.

Everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $50 or more by event day will receive the official PanCAN PurpleStride 2024 T-shirt.
