In this role, you will focus on securing opportunities to increase awareness and visibility of PanCAN's three major initiatives: PanCAN PurpleStride (fundraising), Action Week (advocacy), and Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (community outreach). You will also recruit and lead Communications Committee members. The ideal volunteer for this role is a strong communicator with a passion for leadership! Training will be provided.PanCAN volunteers raise funds and awareness year-round to support research and clinical initiatives, patient services, advocacy, and community engagement work. Our volunteers support us in a number of capacities, including social media, public awareness campaigns, fundraising, event planning, and government advocacy.
We need you because pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers; the five-year survival rate is only 12%. It is currently the third leading cause of all cancer-related death in the US. We need people like you to help us create a world where all patients with pancreatic cancer will thrive.
