When we come together as a community, we change the story for patients and families. Join us on Saturday, April 24, 2027, at an event near you for PanCAN PurpleStride, the ultimate walk to end pancreatic cancer.
Whether you've participated for years or you're considering your first PurpleStride, we really want to see you and your crew there. And registration is free!
Every dollar raised for PurpleStride supports All Together We Can, our $250 million campaign to advance research breakthroughs, expand our PanCAN Patient Services program and champion this thriving community so no one walks through their journey with pancreatic cancer alone.
JOIN US IN A COMMUNITY NEAR YOU! REGISTER NOW FOR PANCAN PURPLESTRIDE 2027!
PurpleStride brings together more than 50,000 people nationwide who are connected by one powerful goal - ending pancreatic cancer.
When you register early, you give yourself a head start. Set a fundraising goal. Reach out to your family and friends. Recruit team members. Share why you stride. Every step you take to get ready can help build momentum for event day.
And you don't have to do it alone. Your PurpleStride community is here to cheer you on, celebrate your milestones and help you keep moving forward.
Ready to put your PurpleStride pride on display?
Register, then raise or self-donate $100+ by April 4, 2027, to earn your official PanCAN PurpleStride 2027 T-shirt, mailed in April and in time for event day.*
It's a way to celebrate your fundraising progress, start conversations about why ending pancreatic cancer matters to you and join a sea of purple on event day.
Anyone who registers as a survivor by Sunday, April 4, 2027, will be mailed an official PanCAN PurpleStride 2027 Survivor T-shirt in April for receipt by event day, with no fundraising minimum required. This is in addition to the official 2027 T-shirt you receive for raising $100+.
*T-shirts earned between April 5 and May 31 will be mailed after the event. Participant T-shirts will not be available for pick up on event day. We cannot guarantee USPS delivery dates and are not responsible for any shipping delays. For more information, including Survivor & Volunteer T-shirts, visit our FAQs.
What will you accomplish with a $1,000 fundraising goal? Reaching PanCAN PurpleStride Grand Club status by raising $1,000 could provide 25 people access to one of our highly trained Patient Services Case Managers for comprehensive, free, one-on-one support.
And Striders who raise $1,000+ receive an exclusive Grand Club wind jacket.
Set your goal and see how far you can go!

There's another new way to make it easier for your supporters to give: PurpleStride donation forms now accept gifts from donor-advised funds (DAFs).
A DAF is a charitable giving account that allows donors to recommend grants to charitable organizations. If someone in your network has a DAF, they can now use PurpleStride donation forms to recommend a gift to PanCAN. Learn more about DAF gifts in the PurpleStride FAQs.
