Pancreatic cancer is currently the third leading cause of all cancer-related death in the United States - and impacts every state across the country. In order to rewrite the future of pancreatic cancer we need communities nationwide to join together and create a movement. This national movement needs your leadership and vision to continue to thrive and grow!

We are looking for passionate, organized volunteers to recruit additional corporate sponsors for the annual 5K run/walk fundraising event, PurpleStride Austin. This is an incredible opportunity to be the heartbeat of an event that brings hope, funding, and education to the pancreatic cancer community. There is robust training offered and it is a great project to add to any portfolio or resume.

If you are interested in expanding your skills, building meaningful relationships and truly making a difference in this fight, please email: Donavon Roberson at droberson@pancanvolunteer.org for more information!

Here is what we are looking for:

• Represent PanCAN to our donors and sponsors (active and potential)
• Create a fundraising strategy to meet organization fundraising goals
• Develop a relationship with existing donors and sponsors and cultivate new relationships with potential donors
• Maintain a record of donor and sponsor contact information, donation history, and other sensitive information
• Work with the Media Coordinator to manage regular email communications to donors and sponsors, including organization updates, event invites, and fundraising campaign emails
• Send donation acknowledgements and thank you letters
• Develop and implement sponsorship program, including organizing sponsor events, fulfilling sponsor benefits, and maintaining active communication with sponsors
