The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is a nationwide group of people working together to advance research, support patients and create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Founded in 1999, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has
grown into the only national organization fighting pancreatic cancer in a comprehensive way.

We accomplish our mission by directly funding research, and demanding that the federal government increase research dollars for pancreatic cancer; by providing patients and caregivers with reliable information to make informed decisions with their health care teams; and by helping individuals and communities work together to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for pancreatic cancer.

We launched "Raise the Cure" in 2008 - a campaign to secure $170 million in federal funding and $25 million in private funding for pancreatic cancer research.

The effort of our Government Affairs program has resulted in a $56.7 million increase in federal funding for pancreatic cancer researchers around the country since the Pancreatic
Cancer Action Network was founded in 1999.

In 2007, our nationwide network of advocates sent close to 18,000 messages to 530 Members of Congress about the importance of increasing funding for pancreatic cancer
research.We have funded $3.5 million in grants for pancreatic cancer research. These awards fund
innovative research designed to expedite scientific progress to benefit patients.

The Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) associates have helped over 25,000 patients and families since the program was launched in 2002. PALS has produced over 45 fact sheets, four educational booklets, (some available in
Spanish) and over 20 pancreatic cancer symposia in major cities across the country.

Our Community Outreach program has developed over 75 volunteer affiliates throughout the United States who educate communities and build awareness about pancreatic cancer.
