Awareness Starts With You

You don't need to be an expert to make a difference. Every post you share, every purple shirt you wear, and every story you tell helps more people recognize pancreas disease and find the care they need.

Color It Purple

Color It Purple invites communities across the country to shine a light on pancreas disease. Throughout June and July, our community will wear purple, fundraise, share their stories, and raise awareness in ways big and small. Whether it's your front porch, your office, or a local landmark, every bit of purple sparks a conversation and shows patients and families they're not alone.

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

Every November, patients, families, researchers, and supporters unite to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and push for progress. Join the NPF this month by sharing educational content, taking part in Color It Purple, attending an event, or making a gift in honor or memory of someone you love. Together, we can bring pancreatic cancer out of the shadows.

Your Story Can Change Someone's Journey

Behind every diagnosis is a person, and behind every person is a story worth telling. Sharing your experience as a patient, caregiver, or loved one helps others feel less alone, helps the public understand what pancreas disease really looks like, and gives the NPF a stronger voice when advocating for better treatments and care.
