Welcome to Our PanCAN PurpleStride Team Fundraising Page!

Today, as we gather with heavy hearts yet hopeful spirits, we come together to honor the cherished memory of John Eichinger and celebrate the enduring presence of David Eichinger, two remarkable brothers and beloved teachers who have left an indelible mark on each of our lives. Their bond as brothers echoed in their shared passion for education, touching countless hearts and minds throughout their careers.

In their classroom, they weren't just teachers; they were mentors, guides, and inspirations. Their kindness, wisdom, and unwavering dedication shaped the lives of generations of students, instilling in them a love for learning and a belief in their own potential.

As we remember John Eichinger, who faced pancreatic cancer with courage and grace, we also celebrate the resilience and strength of David Eichinger. Their intertwined spirits continue to guide us, reminding us of the profound impact one can have on others.

Today, in their honor, we come together not only to cherish their memory but also to rally support for the fight against pancreatic cancer. Let us join hands and hearts in the quest for a cure, ensuring that their legacy of love, compassion, and dedication lives on in the lives they've touched and the lives we strive to save.

Our team wants to make the biggest impact on the lives of pancreatic cancer patients – and we need you to do it!

We’re taking steps at the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer, PanCAN PurpleStride, on Saturday, April 27, 2024.

PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more.

Here’s where you come in! 

We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal – because the more money we raise, the bigger impact we make – and would be profoundly grateful for your donation. A gift of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
