Program and marathon activities our primary fundraising comes from participating in marathons, half marathons, and 5k races across the country; including the top four u.s. marathons. Our team consists of runners from all over the world, most of them have been touched by pancreatic cancer.
Research, scholarships and patient aid Project Purple has become a leading provider of financial aid to families battling pancreatic cancer. We offer grants to families that are battling this disease from all over the united states. We offer financial assistance with housing, utilities, medical, and we also have a miscellaneous category that has been used to cover things like gas, alternative lodging, and anything not covered in the other categories. Patients are eligible to apply once every 12 months and our typical cycle lasts anywhere from 3-4 weeks, depending on the application, if all the requirements are in good order. We require patients to submit proof of diagnosis and current protocol, photo id, previous year's tax filing, as well as any bills that they are looking for assistance with. Project Purple is committed to funding critical research towards a cure and early detection of pancreatic cancer. Project Purple has funded over 3,000,000 since inception for clinical and scientific research towards its mission with some of the top scientists and doctors in the united states working towards that goal. Our research approach is to assist in funding of this critical research with some of the top scientists and doctors in the united states. The scope of the many projects has ranged from immunology, early detection, basic science, clinical trials and much more.
