Project Purple’s Community Events program empowers passionate supporters to bring our mission to life right where they live. From local fundraisers to awareness gatherings, these events, big or small, are hosted by community members who want to make a meaningful impact in the fight against pancreatic cancer.
Whether you already have an idea or are just getting started, our team is here to support you every step of the way. We provide guidance, creative ideas, helpful resources, and promotional materials to make hosting a community event simple and successful. Together, we can expand Project Purple’s reach, raise critical funds, and spread hope where it’s needed most.
