Did you know that Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States?
Over 42,400 people are diagnosed annually with pancreatic cancer in the U.S., and about 42,000 people will die within the first year. Less than 5% will survive beyond five years.
There’s no early detection test (yet). There’s no cure (yet). Research is our best weapon to fight this disease.
The Lustgarten Foundation, dedicated solely to pancreatic cancer research, has raised over $32 million in support of promising pancreatic cancer research. The Foundation wants to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer. They want to celebrate progress in the fight against this disease. Due to underwriting by Cablevision of NY, 100% of all donations goes to PC research. You can help. Your support today can mean a cure tomorrow.

Last year we raised close to $49,000. This year, let’s double it!
