Purpose Statement: The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research is focused on finding a cure for pancreatic cancer, and empowering the patients and families whose lives are touched by this disease. Founded in 1997, the foundation funds groundbreaking scientific research, provides patient education and support, and sustains hope that this cancer will be eradicated once and for all.

Our Mission:

  are diagnosed with this disease each year.
• Create a premier pancreatic cancer center where the most advanced treatment options and
  comprehensive support services are available, all in one place.
• Earn recognition as the leading resource for information about pancreatic cancer, and support for
  patients and their families.
• Fund new projects and programs designed to improve patient care, treatment and, ultimately,
  pancreatic cancer survival rates.
• Integrate and unite generations through participating in physical fitness events, while creating
  public awareness and raising money to find a cure.
