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 a passionate, organized volunteer to lead the planning of our 5K fundraising event, PurpleStride, for our Austin Affiliate in the Spring. This is an incredible opportunity to be the heartbeat of an event that brings hope, funding, and education to the pancreatic cancer community. In this leadership position, you would be supported by a staff member from the organization but empowered to own the event, be creative, and build a strong committee to help you with all of the planning aspects. 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! The Austin Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) has ongoing opportunities in social media to help raise awareness and educate the public about pancreatic cancer, the November Awareness Month, our major fundraising walk called PurpleStride Sacramento, upcoming local events and more. Here are some areas we can use some help and guidance in: Adding events like our PurpleStride Austin to various online community calendars (we have logins and will provide details, images or video links) Contacting local radio stations or newspapers for media sponsorship of PurpleStride Austin Sending press releases to local newspapers and media outlets for PurpleStride and November Awareness Month (we have templates to make this easy) Help with updating our media list for the Austin area Outreach to local media outlets in Austin to pitch a human interest story for November Awareness and PurpleStride Helping us with a media strategy for PurpleStride and November Awareness PurpleStride is the walk to end pancreatic cancer and is among the largest sources of funding for PanCAN while raising awareness and creating a community among those affected by this disease.

WHAT: The driving force behind turning the PurpleStride vision into reality. Oversees the success of the event including revenue and participant targets. Recruits and leads a robust committee to ensure effective execution. WHO: Someone who is a connector. Able to recruit volunteers and align them with positions where they will be successful. A highly organized person is needed to properly delegate tasks and ensure planning is on target. This person is also ultimately responsible for working to hit the financial goal for PurpleStride, so someone who is not afraid to get out there and fundraise is ideal! TIME: Putting together a successful event requires a year-long commitment whether it be securing a venue (10-12 months in advance) or recruiting and stewarding volunteers year-round. Recruiting the planning committee can be time intensive and involves hosting a Committee Kickoff event (6-8 months prior to PurpleStride). The bulk of energy is expended in the final few months leading up to the event and can require anywhere from 5-10 hours per week. It’s pertinent this person is available the days leading up to and on event day.
