“Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation was instrumental in helping my family navigate this difficult journey.”
“Rolfe Foundation was there for me, and I want to be able to continue to support it so it’s there for everyone else.”
“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.”
“I lost my mom 12 years ago to pancreatic cancer. She was, in otherwise, perfect health. As president of Rolfe Foundation, I am fighting for her, and I am fighting for our future generations.”
We’re partnering with an amazing group of experts to deliver timely and useful content via Facebook Live or Zoom. From nutrition and stress management to the power of music and exercise, we’ll bring our community together virtually to stay connected and receive the continued support each of us needs right now.

NEXT EVENT
Everywhere we turn, we are bombarded by messages to uncover our family’s history or genetic code. Finding out your lineage and potential hereditary conditions seems as easy as typing a few strokes on a keypad. And while it may be fun to discover that your great-grandmother was a trailblazer, not all information is as it appears. It’s important to understand what the at-home genetics tests are really telling you, and more importantly, what are they missing?
Join us as we welcome back Dena Goldberg, Genetic Counselor and Founder of DenaDNA as she shares:
– The difference between genetic counseling and genetic testing
– Why at-home testing kits are not medical tests
– How to best determine your risk for pancreatic cancer and other diseases
– What proactive measures you can take to protect your health
