The former “Biggest Loser” and “The Voice” contestant met with staff and senior leadership to express her gratitude for PanCAN’s work to double survival by 2020.
“I’m one of those people you’re affecting on an everyday basis. Now that I’m at the headquarters, I can connect the pieces to all of you and your great work.”
Erin partnered with PanCAN in 2012, just a few months after her father died from pancreatic cancer. Since then, she has participated in the ‘Evening with the Stars’ and ‘Celebration of Hope’ galas and attends PurpleStride events across the country. She is slated to sing the national anthem at PurpleStride D.C., taking place at Freedom Plaza on June 10.
