#PanCANPurpleStride hasn't met its $17 million goal yet — but you have the power to help get us there. Every dollar you raise or donate brings us one step closer to our fundraising goal and the first milestone of our All Together We Can campaign!

It is the most exciting time in #pancreaticcancer research, and we need to seize this moment together. That’s why PanCAN has launched All Together We Can, our $250 million campaign to change the story of this disease for patients and families. Every dollar you raise or donate to help PurpleStride reach goal goes toward our ambitious goal to accelerate advances in research and get every patient access to the care, support and treatments that give them the best chance to survive. 💜

Aneesha D., Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and lead of the Dasgupta Lab, shares, "Our lab had the privilege of participating in the PanCAN Purple Stride — a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.

Standing alongside pancreatic cancer patients, survivors, families and advocates, we were reminded that research is not just about data, publications or experiments — it’s about people. It’s about the lives behind every sample, every dataset and every unanswered question.

As researchers, it’s easy to become immersed in the everyday challenges of the lab. Events like PurpleStride bring us back to the bigger picture: the urgency, the resilience of this community and the responsibility we carry to push our work forward with purpose.

Showing up matters. Listening matters. And staying connected to the patient community makes us better scientists.

We’re proud to stand in solidarity. And even more committed to advancing research that can make a real difference."

Thank you to Aneesha, the Dasgupta Lab and everyone who took steps to end #pancreaticcancer at PanCAN PurpleStride on April 25. Together, we can continue supporting patients and families while driving progress through research, community and hope. 👟💜 There’s still time to make an impact — you can donate to a #PanCANPurpleStride Strider, team or event through June 30 at 🔗 https://t.co/cqvqu4a0Iv!

PanCAN President and CEO, Julie Fleshman, has a message to share with all Striders who took steps to end #pancreaticcancer. 👟💜

She shares, "Our incredible community showed up for PanCAN PurpleStride in a big way. Because of you, we're within reach of our ambitious $17 million goal, and just $44 from every strider will carry us across the finish line.

This is an extraordinary moment in pancreatic cancer history. With KRAS‑targeted treatments on the horizon, PanCAN is launching a $250 million campaign to accelerate research and strengthen the field so breakthroughs like this reach every patient who needs them.

Our $17 million PurpleStride goal is the campaign's first milestone, and we're closer than ever. If every strider, including you, raises $44 today, we can get there together.

You've helped us come this far! Will you raise $44 to close the gap?

Here are a few easy ways to get us over the finish line:
👟 Make a self‑donation of $44.
👟 Ask 4 family members or friends to give $11 each.
👟 Share your Personal Fundraising Page on social media with a $44 ask.
👟 Send an email from your PurpleStride Dashboard — it will include a link to your fundraising page!
👟 Don’t forget to check if your company has a matching gift program.

It’s the most exciting time for pancreatic cancer progress and we need to seize this moment together.

Every dollar you raise for PurpleStride 2026 through Tuesday, June 30, goes toward our aspirational goal to advance breakthrough research, expand PanCAN Patient Services and champion a thriving field to make survival the expectation, not the exception.

This is more than a fundraising campaign. It’s a movement to change the trajectory of pancreatic cancer.

Let’s continue rewriting the story for pancreatic cancer, together!

With immense gratitude,
Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA
President and CEO"
