“Everyone on the Young Professionals Board (YPB) has that fire to raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer because we’ve all been impacted by it.”
“My dad never wanted to make his battle with pancreatic cancer about himself. He believed in the power of sharing stories, and was all about helping others. Giving back is our family’s way to honor him and keep his legacy alive.”
“The funds from Rolfe are incredibly helpful because they let us take this information that we’re building for other purposes and be able to apply it to early detection research.”
“The ultimate reason why I joined Rolfe, besides their mission and the patient care support that they offer, is the people. I wish that no one experienced pancreatic cancer, but that’s not the reality, and the only good that has come of this is that we’ve all found each other.”
“Rolfe Foundation is our extended family, filled with people willing to do anything to help us, from connecting us with doctors to finding others who had similar experiences. Rolfe makes us feel like we are not alone. We believe in hope. We believe in Rolfe.”
Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation’s mission is to provide personal support to those affected by pancreatic cancer through tailored resources, connections and education, and funding for early detection research.
Our Vision
To live in a world without pancreatic cancer
A Mission Rooted in What Matters Most
Each year, more than 67,000 Americans are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and fewer than 13% survive beyond five years. At Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, these are not just statistics—they are our parents, siblings, friends, and neighbors—lives deeply loved and profoundly missed. (American Cancer Society, 2026).
Pancreatic cancer is personal to us.
It shapes our commitment to advancing research, supporting families, and raising awareness—so that earlier detection, better treatment options, and meaningful hope become a reality for more people.
