The Center School is honored to be participating in this tremendous event, in memory of Diane Erhardt. She was a cherished member of our school community, whose presence left and indelible mark on all. She created a welcoming atmosphere, treated every student with respect, and reminded us all of the power of simple kindness. Her devotion to our students and staff of The Center School will always be remembered and a trait for us to emulate. 

Diane lost her brief battle with pancreatic cancer this past August, and The Center School is looking to honor her memory by raising funds to help support ways in putting an end to this terrible disease, once and for all. In Parsippany, on Saturday, April 25th, Team Center School will be hitting the pavement to walk on behalf of Mrs. Erhardt, in support of the PurpleStride fundraising event.

PurpleStride is an inspiring event for anyone who has been affected by pancreatic cancer and wants to ensure vital research continues and free resources are made available to all who need them.

To make the biggest difference, we’ve set an ambitious team fundraising goal and need your help – will you donate to our fundraiser? You can donate directly to the team (which will not go toward a specific team member’s goal) or you can select a team member and donate toward that person's fundraising goal (which will also support the team’s goal)!

A gift of any size will provide much-needed hope for a brighter future for the entire pancreatic cancer community.

Want to join us at PurpleStride? Now’s the time! Join our team by registering for free (click REGISTER above!) and take steps with us – everyone who registers and raises or self-donates $100 or more will earn an official PanCAN PurpleStride T-shirt!

Again, thank you for supporting us and everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. We’re grateful for you and your support!
