Join Project Purple at the Denise D’Ascenzo Foundation’s Walk to Fight Rare Diseases!

We’re thrilled to share that Project Purple proudly supports the Denise D’Ascenzo Foundation’s Walk to Fight Rare Diseases on April 25, 2026. This meaningful event offers our community an opportunity to come together in the fight against pancreatic cancer while standing alongside those affected by other rare diseases.

Why Walk With Us?

This walk is more than a fundraiser; it’s a celebration of hope, strength, and unity. By participating with organizations dedicated to supporting rare diseases, we help elevate a shared mission of awareness and compassion. The day also promises family-friendly fun, including entertainment, children’s activities, and opportunities to connect with others who are making an impact.
