A Love for Life

Help Fund A Cure.
Our sole purpose is bringing our community together to have fun and fund the researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center at Penn. We do this in honor of those we have lost to pancreatic cancer but also, more importantly, to improve outcomes for those who are facing this challenge today.
Give Credit.
We have different fundraising events all year round: yoga classes, wine-tastings, dinner parties, back yard bonfires and silent auctions. We have world famous cookies at Newtown Hardware House and shopping events lined up with lots of stores/shops. If you are donating in honor of a friend who is struggling with or has died of pancreatic cancer, let us know in the comment section. We are happy to share a photo here on this page.

When you make a donation you will receive a tax donation letter from Penn right away -100% of your donation is tax deductible.

If you know someone who has pancreatic cancer, or has a family member or friend struggling with this disease, please tell them about our group. If you are on Facebook, LIKE our page or look on Instagram @aloveforlife_ and you will always know what we are up to.
Make a Difference.
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. There are over 44,000 new cases each year, and few standard treatment options.The five-year survival rate is only 12%, making it one of the deadliest cancers. There are still no early detection tools that are effective in finding pancreatic cancer in its early stages. We want to help fund research that will help change these statistics, and offer hope to those who are affected by this disease.
