Summertime Purple Ribbon Events are Making a Comeback!

Returning to in-person activities is becoming a reality for many across the country and we’re excited about the countless reunions that await! As we begin dreaming up plans to re-unite with friends and family, we’re inviting you to turn this reunion into a Purple Ribbon Event.  Start a new tradition marking the occasion of a post-pandemic world or celebrate a birthday, anniversary or an upcoming holiday while supporting the fight against pancreatic cancer!

We’re providing Purple Ribbon Event ideas and themes to get you excited, a planning checklist and event tips to help you get creative. Follow 5 simple steps to get started: choose a virtual event idea, ask a friend to help plan & co-host, create a fundraising page, select a location or online video platform, follow our checklist. Contact us at [email protected] if you have questions about hosting an event or fundraising- we’re happy to assist.

The Hirshberg Foundation is eager to launch new research in 2021 and offer more programs to patients and you can be a huge part of that!
