PurpleStride is the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer and key fundraisising event for PanCAN. The Phoenix event is on April 27th at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale and includes a 2 mile walk or shorter half mile route.  Our goal for 2024 is to raise $265,000, which is just a portion of the $19 milllion goal PanCAN holds for all events nationwide/combined.

In Phoenix, we expect over 1,000 participants on event day and many more donors. The PurpleStride Opening Ceremonies include talks from various sponsors on how we have made progress to acheive 12% 5 year survival rates, plans to hit 20% by 2030, celebrating our survivors and honoring our loved ones that we have lost to the disease.  The event includes a survivor VIP area, a Purple Play Zone for kids, snacks & drinks for participants and information from sponsors who are engaged in the fight against pancreatic cancer. 

Donations received in 2023 or prior to the event may be used as incentives for team recruitment starting with Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month in November!
