Benefiting the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Every year on the weekend before Halloween, people of all ages come together to do something amazing. They care. They change lives. And they give a face to hope. Last year, more than 3500 people came together and raised more than $456,000 to help find a cure for pancreatic cancer. In the past ten years, The LA Cancer Challenge has raised over 1.6 million dollars for our Foundation, thanks to the tireless efforts of the thousands of people who care. The momentum is building. This year we have some very special things planned to help make our 11th Annual event our biggest and best ever! Won’t you join us?
The mission of the Hirshberg Foundation is to improve early detection and find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer. Our research at the UCLA Medical Center and our partnerships with research centers around the world are helping speed up the process of finding a cure for all forms of cancer. It’s not impossible.
