“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.”
Leaning into their family’s values, Harriet advocated for and launched a patient support program at the University of Chicago. With the support of the Gerald O. Mann Foundation, of which the Wulfstat family are the trustees, Rolfe took over the effort, now called Harriet’s Helping Hands, to expand its “boots on the ground” patient support program. Rolfe has grown the program with connections to all Chicagoland hospitals.
Harriet was known for her love of helping others. Her compassion and strength truly shined, nothing could dim her light. She was a dedicated Rolfe volunteer and Board Member and served as a trustee of a private foundation supporting Pancreatic Cancer research and patient support. Her legacy continues through the Harriet’s Helping Hands program.
