TAKING ACTION MATTERS
There is an urgent need to raise awareness and increase the federal investment in research to accelerate progress and improve patient outcomes. Every June we send a unified message to Capitol Hill so your members of Congress understand the critical role they play in funding lifesaving cancer research. We must continue to take action, because when we come together as one voice, Congress listens. This fight isn’t only for one week. Our advocates (that’s you!) work year-round to power progress.
Why We Advocate: OUR PRIORITIES
Our efforts are focused on reaching, and influencing, members of Congress to prioritize pancreatic cancer research. Join our fight.

“Personal stories matter a lot. So people going in to talk to their Congressman or talk to their Senator should be confident that the office will care, that you as a constituent matter and that the personal story you bring has power.”
