Schwartz Pancreatic Cancer Research Foundation's goal is to promote & fund medical research, early detection, prevention, & treatment of Pancreatic Cancer. Leslie Feingold Schwartz was known for her calm, caring, and gentle demeanor, her knowledge, hard work and dedication, her incredible organizational skills, her ability to balance her personal and professional life, her thoughtful, kind, and un
derstanding mentoring of those who were fortunate enough to work with her, an unwavering devotion to both her job and her friends, and, above all, for her great love of family. She was a graduate of Munster High School in Munster, Indiana, and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, before becoming a media buyer in Chicago, getting married and eventually settling in Deerfield, Illinois, where she and her husband raised a wonderful and loving son. During a successful career of over 30 years, Leslie worked in the media departments at Grey North, Foote Cone and Belding, Interpublic Company, and their related affiliates. Leslie was a totally unselfish person who always placed the needs of her family, friends and associates before her own. In August of 2010, Leslie began to experience some abdominal bloating and a cough. When the cough persisted, she sought medical attention, and, in September, 2010, following a series of tests, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. As is too often the case with this horrible disease, her death followed only four months later
Spearheaded by her sister, Susan Feingold Carlson, Leslie’s family created a foundation in her name, and dedicated it towards the early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer in the hope that others could benefit from further research into the causes and treatment of this dreaded and deadly disease. The Leslie F Schwartz Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund, with your generous aid, assistance, and support, honors Leslie’s memory by doing its part to eradicate pancreatic cancer. In doing so, we also hope to honor the memory of all of your friends and family members who have suffered the ravages of this horrible malignancy. "Believe… In Time… We Will Succeed."
