FUNDRAISING

Far too often we are asked to contribute to an organization to fight a certain disease. Often we do. Soon after, we pause and wonder where the money goes or how it will be used and/or spent? Let us assure you there are no salaries or offices to support in the FLPCC; all who serve are local volunteers. Mayo Clinic, Moffitt Cancer Center, University of Miami, University of Florida, and University of South Florida all are undertaking world class medical research in the field of pancreas cancer. So, the reasoning goes: If one is good enough to want to help, why not have local business and individuals helping fund local pancreas cancer research for local people? That way, you know exactly where your money goes and the good it does. In addition to soliciting donations, FLPCC holds fund raising “events” throughout the year.
