Volunteers from New York and Philadelphia woke up at the crack of dawn to Wage Hope on “Good Morning America” and “The Today Show.” 
 
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month was a huge success, and we could not have done it without you! Thank you for shining a purple light on pancreatic cancer. Your efforts drive our mission forward and contribute to a worldwide movement that is changing this disease.

Here are a few highlights from the campaign:


  • 645 proclamations - Proclamations came in from all across the country!
 
  • 63 buildings/landmarks turned purple - almost double compared to last year! Chicago, Chattanooga, Milwaukee and Puget Sound all had five or more buildings/landmarks in their community turn purple!
 
  • Over 150 Purple Parties – Shout out to Matt Wilson for hosting a Purple Party to celebrate being five years cancer-free!
 
  • Hundreds of news anchors across the country raised additional awareness for pancreatic cancer during the month of November and wore purple for World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
 
  • Celebritiesincluding Mindy Kaling, Magic Johnson, Lisa Niemi Swayze, Charlotte Rae,  Viola Davis, Cyndi Lauper, Anna Maria Horsford, Robin Roberts and Hoda Kotb joined the movement on World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
You continue to impress us in all that you do, and November was no exception. Thank you!
