EVENT INCENTIVES & DEADLINES
PanCAN PurpleStride wouldn't be the success it is without YOU! That’s why we are excited to recognize and reward Striders and teams who reach special fundraising milestones. Learn about these benefits and deadlines below. Thank you for your incredible passion and dedication!
Please note all fundraising benefits are based on the fundraising totals shown on purplestride.org at the time of the deadline. Please allow up to 3 weeks for mailed donations to be processed and included in your fundraising total.
Note that donations made through Facebook Fundraiser may not be reflected on your personal/team fundraising page – and the leaderboard – for 72 hours or longer due to the way Facebook Fundraiser processes gifts.
T-SHIRTS
Registered Striders who raise or self-donate $50 or more by event day will receive an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2025 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. We are unable to ship T-shirts after the event.
All registered pancreatic cancer survivors are eligible to receive a special survivor T-shirt with no fundraising minimum required.
PanCAN PurpleStride Grand Club
- Deadline: Monday, June 30, 2025

ACHIEVEMENT BADGES
Who doesn’t love an achievement badge? You can earn up to 13! Your badges will appear in your PurpleStride Dashboard and on your public-facing personal fundraising page as you earn them. Check out the types of badges you can earn below and log in to your Dashboard to start earning them!
You can get started with these four easy steps:
- Customize your personal fundraising page with your photo and your personal story. When family and friends know why you’re taking steps against pancreatic cancer at PanCAN PurpleStride, they’ll be more motivated to support you.
- 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!*
- 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.
- Make a self-donation. If you haven’t already done so, donate to your own fundraiser. Striders who make a self-donation raise twice as much as those who don’t!
