The Lustgarten Foundation is the top private funder for pancreatic cancer research. We have funded $280 million in pancreatic cancer research, and 100% of all contributions to the foundation go directly to research.
On September 8, we will be hosting our Staten Island Walk for Research, which will be happening at Franklin D. Roosevelt Park. At this volunteer opportunity, there will be the chance to pass out refreshments, help with registration and check-in, and assist on the walk route.

Description
Tax ID #: 31-1611837
Pancreatic cancer is swift and silent, often undetected until it’s too late. It is estimated that more than 56,000 individuals will be diagnosed with the disease and 44,000 will pass away this year. The overall five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is just nine percent and most with advanced cancer die within a year. There are no early detection tests, no effective long-term treatments and, unless the cancer is surgically removed in its earliest stages, there is no cure. It is the fourth-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.
