“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.”
Raising Awareness. Building Community.
Rolfe’s Young Professionals Board (YPB) brings together passionate young professionals committed to raising awareness of pancreatic cancer and strengthening a supportive community.
YPB organizes and hosts a variety of annual events, including March Mania, trivia nights, yoga in the park, and more, all designed to engage the community and support the mission of early detection and awareness. While many YPB events are free to attend, donations that support early detection research are strongly encouraged.
If you’re interested in getting involved, we’d love to hear from you! Email YPB President Jordan Blonsky at ypb@rolfefoundation.org to learn more.
