We are thrilled that @JustSalad is returning for its second year as Premier Sponsor of #PanCANPurpleStride NYC! 🥗💜

#Pancreaticcancer is a cause near and dear to Just Salad Founder and CEO, Nick Kenner. In 2010, his father passed away shortly after a diagnosis of neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. The quickness of loss was overwhelming and the Kenner family wanted to take action.

Nick says, "I wanted to contribute to the cause. Just Salad serves hundreds of thousands of customers every month and so many care about making a difference, not just in healthy food or sustainability, but in healthy living overall,” Nick said.

“PanCAN is an amazing organization,” said Ashley Stark Kenner, Nick’s wife. "Our family loves PurpleStride and supporting a great cause.”

Thank you to Just Salad and the Kenner family for your incredible support! Read more about this partnership and register for PanCAN PurpleStride today at https://t.co/y2Hf6Bv49J.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we take another step forward in our commitment to health equity with the establishment of PanCAN’s inaugural Health Equity Committee.

Defeating #pancreaticcancer remains our urgent mission. We recognize that this cannot be accomplished without striving to reach and serve every individual touched by pancreatic cancer. The purpose of the Health Equity Committee is to eliminate health disparities and advance health equity for those impacted by pancreatic cancer. 💜

The Health Equity Committee advises PanCAN on the development of goals and initiatives within our communities, and on ways to improve the health of those disproportionately impacted by pancreatic cancer including racial and ethnic minority populations and rural communities.

@PanCANNJ Love this.

[Alex Rappoport @a_rappoport]

She was a true warrior and will never be forgotten - her spirit brightened an otherwise dreary and cold April day. RIP Ruschell. 💜

[Alex Rappoport @a_rappoport]

Devastated to hear this news. Thinking of Ruschell and her family and sending love. 💜

I was lucky enough to get to know Ruschell earlier this year, and had the honor of working with her as she emceed @PanCAN PurpleStride NYC 2023.

[Spectrum News NY1 @NY1]

We have some deeply sad and personal news to report.

Ruschell Boone, an Emmy award-winning journalist and our beloved colleague here at NY1, passed away Sunday due to complications related to pancreatic cancer. She was 48. https://t.co/ZBa8IHdYT2

[Alex Rappoport @a_rappoport]

While I only knew her for a short time, it's obvious how Ruschell's positivity and grace throughout her pancreatic cancer journey inspired so many. This disease is different than every other disease out there and Ruschell helped lend her voice, her spirit, and her heart.
