Twelve Ways You Can Help Find A Cure for Pancreatic Cancer

• Honor your loved ones on birthdays, anniversaries, Mothers Day/Fathers Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, Valentines Day or any other occasion with a donation to the Hirshberg Foundation.
• Ask your friends or relatives to give a donation on your birthday or other special occasion in lieu of a gift.
• When you host a party, dinner or house warming, let guests know that you would prefer that a small donation be given to the Hirshberg Foundation in lieu of a hostess gift.
• Host a fund raising dinner. Invite your guests to a party or dinner at your home and request a twenty-five to fifty dollar donation per person. The donation is tax deductible, and so is the expense of the party.
• Ask your doctor if you can leave Hirshberg Pancreatic Cancer Research Center brochures in the office waiting room, as a resource for other patients. Call other oncologists in your area, and ask them to do the same.
• Ask your church, synagogue, school, or country club to hold a fund raiser in your beloved’s honor – a dance, dinner, golf or tennis tournament, bake sale, car wash, rummage sale.
• If you live in Southern California, participate in our biggest annual fundraising event,  the LA Cancer Challenge 5K/10K Run, held each Halloween weekend in the Fall. Become a member of the planning committee, volunteer on event day, or raise pledges for participating.
• Hold a fundraiser in your local area. A walk-a-thon, bicycle race, ski event or dance marathon are just a few ideas. Don’t be afraid to start small. We can offer suggestions and guidance.
• Help build our mailing list. Send us names of friends, relatives and colleagues who have been touched by pancreatic or other gastrointestinal cancer. We will keep them informed of upcoming events and current findings.
• Stay informed about upcoming events and ways that you can get involved to help fight the battle against pancreatic cancer.
• Wear the purple wristbands or foundation apparel to help get the word out.
• Purchase the latest bestselling books, music cd’s and dvd’s through our online bookstore.
   

The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in the State of California. Although encouraging strides are being made, pancreatic cancer research is urgently in need of increased funding.

Please donate, volunteer, participate in events and more to be part of the fight to find a cure!
