Fundraising

We raise the most money for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network with your help.   When you register for a Walk Through the Vineyards event, you get a personal fundraising website that you can customize and then send e-mails to friends and family to collect donations.

We encourage all participants to use the online tools to increase pancreatic cancer awareness and help raise funds for a cause we all feel passionately about. Even a small goal of just $100 will help incredibly, so ask at least 10 friends for $10 and you may be surprised with what you can raise.

You can win fun incentive prizes for fundraising and we recognize top teams and individuals at the event. Incentive levels are at $100, $250 and $500 this year.  Stay tuned for more information on fundraising prizes soon.

• Personalize your page with a photo and story about how pancreatic cancer has touched your life.
