2024 DASH for Detection 5K Fundraiser
Event Fundraiser: 2024 DASH for Detection 5K
Pancreatic Cancer remains the nation's 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths because early detection is so challenging. Too many of us in the Rolfe community have faced the pain of Pancreatic Cancer firsthand. Like you, we yearn for a cure, and we won't rest until we get there.
Through fundraising and donations, Rolfe backs research aiming to create a diagnostic test for Pancreatic Cancer in its earliest, most treatable phase. We also fund the country's leading research institutions to attract more scientists dedicated to early detection research.
With your help, we can offer patients hope for a brighter future. Let's fight for a world without Pancreatic Cancer. Together, we're stronger than cancer.
Organizations
Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation
In 1999, a community effort to honor Michael Rolfe began in a Highland Park living room. From those humble beginnings, it has blossomed into the impactful Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. Today, our devotion to our families remains paramount. Through our patient support program, funding early detection research, and raising awareness about Pancreatic Cancer risk factors and symptoms, we aim to make a difference for everyone affected by this disease.
Our hands-on approach ensures no one has to face Pancreatic Cancer alone.
We provide personal, tailored support to patients, survivors, and loved ones in crisis, genuinely taking the time to understand the experiences of our community. It's not just a process; it's a heartfelt commitment that allows us to connect each individual and family with the medical experts and personalized resources that perfectly suit their unique situations. It's about more than just assistance; it's about caring for our community like family.
