We end our 2019 Year in Review series today, which features stories of supporters taking action in their communities through advocacy, PurpleStride events, volunteerism, DIY fundraising and more, by sharing highlights from our 2019 Annual Impact Report.
It was a busy and exciting year for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN). And what’s the best way to highlight the accomplishments made throughout 2019?
With an annual impact report, celebrating you!
You’re probably thinking, “Did I really make that much of an impact this year?” Yes! You did!
Our annual report is about you, our heroes.
Through your involvement, advocacy, volunteerism and support, you moved mountains to make sure no one is alone in their journey with pancreatic cancer.
You:
- Helped us invest more than $15 million in promising research projects and larger clinical initiatives
- Made 1,900 calls to congressional offices in Washington, D.C., on National Call Congress Day demanding an increase in federal funding for pancreatic cancer research
- Gave patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals a place to turn to for resources and support through PanCAN Patient Services – 40,249 times!
- Made it possible for us to celebrate our 20th year of working together to advance research, support patients and create hope for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer
And these are just a few high points. That’s why you should read the annual impact report.
Print it out, email it to friends, post it on your social media. If there was ever a time for a well-deserved humble brag, it’s now!
Thank you for being part of the PanCAN family. None of this would be possible without you, and we are incredibly grateful.
