Our MissionThe Rolfe Foundation serves as a catalyst for the early diagnosis and ultimate cure of pancreatic cancer by funding advanced medical research, public awareness initiatives, and educational programs. The Foundation also seeks to increase the quality and quantity of emotional and psychological support services for pancreatic cancer patients and their families through partnerships with organizations that specialize in this type of care.
OUR GOALS ARE TO:
Advance the development of early detection.
Just as there is an early detection test for prostate cancer, the PSA, we support researchers working to develop a similar diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer in its early stage, when it's most treatable.
Fund medical research at leading clinical and academic centers.The number of scientific investigators with a demonstrated focus on pancreatic cancer is limited, relative to other cancers. We raise money for top-tier research institutions that can attract more scientists dedicated to pancreatic cancer research.
Provide resources for pancreatic cancer patients, their families and friends.It's not always easy to find information about pancreatic cancer. The Rolfe Foundation is a link to people and places for answers about this disease.
