Donations for Pancreatic Cancer Research
After a 20 month fight with stage IV pancreatic cancer my husband left the earth on July 2nd. I’m trying to pick a PanCancer research organization in the US that is worthy to direct donations to. Can anyone provide suggestions?
Thank you,
Kathy@2000

@kathy2000, first of all, I’m sorry to hear that your husband has passed. You are very thoughtful in considering to give in memory of him to help support research specific to pancreatic cancer. Your gift will go a long way to help others
A few places that you can consider are:
- Mayo Clinic Giving: https://www.mayoclinic.org/giving-to-mayo-clinic
You can direct your gift to Mayo’s Cancer Center and specifically pancreatic cancer research: https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/education-centers/cancer-education
- American Cancer Society Memorial Giving https://www.cancer.org/involved/donate/memorial-giving.html
@stageivsurvivor may have more specific information related to pancreatic cancer organizations, such as Pancreatic Cancer Action Network https://pancan.org/ways-to-give/
Kathy, on another note, I also want to let you know that we also have a Loss & Grief Support Group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/loss-grief/ should you need it.

I am so sorry to hear this. How wonderful you are to consider research donations. I would suggest the following that are currently directly supporting pancreatic cancer drugs and vaccines:
1) Lustgarten foundation
2) Seena Magowitz Foundation
3) Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (pancan)
All our doing great things. I would encourage you to look at each one online to make your decisions.
As a stage IV patient battling this tricky disease, I thank you from the bottom of my 💜
May God bless you and your family with peace.
Sorry for your loss, Kathy. Kind of your family to think of donating at this time to an organization that will further the search for answers to make this disease more survivable. It will happen. God bless.
