Learn about PurpleLight

PurpleLight Vigil for Hope is a time to honor loved ones fighting pancreatic cancer and those who have lost the fight. Family and friends of those touched by pancreatic cancer come together to gain both comfort and encouragement by illuminating glowsticks as they hear their loved ones’ name read aloud, helping to light the night purple. Last fall, in communities across the country, thousands of people participated in one of over fifty PurpleLight Vigil for Hope events.

This fall we will come together to turn the country purple for PurpleLight 2013! Taking place in most communities on the last Sunday in October, PurpleLight is our way of kicking off November as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Join us in creating awareness of pancreatic cancer and honoring those who have battled this disease, knowing that people all across the United States are doing the same.
