“Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation was instrumental in helping my family navigate this difficult journey.”
“This past June my father, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. You were an invaluable resource in understanding his diagnosis and helping us get a second opinion through the University of Chicago. My father is doing remarkably well with treatment so far, and we are very grateful for all your help.”
“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.”
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.
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.
