💜 great news in finding a cure for Pancreatic Cancer!

Thanks to the relentless efforts of PanCAN advocates across the country, this year’s House Dear Colleague letter, supporting $25 million for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Program (PCARP) at the Department of Defense, garnered a record-breaking 127 signatures — thank you to the representatives who signed in support. 👏

Even more powerful, this milestone reflects strong bipartisan support — a clear signal that improving outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer is a shared priority.

To every advocate who took action and shared their story — thank you. Your voices are driving momentum at a critical time in the FY27 budget process. This achievement builds on the success we saw in FY26 and reinforces a simple truth: advocacy — your advocacy — works.

But our work isn’t over.

A strong, bipartisan House Dear Colleague letter is a major step forward, but it is only one part of a long process. We must continue to connect with lawmakers at every stage to ensure this support turns into the full $25 million appropriation for PCARP.

Next, we turn our focus to the Senate.

Soon, a Senate Dear Colleague letter will begin circulating, and we will once again call on our community to take action. Sustaining — and growing — this momentum is essential. Every connection and every story shared keeps pancreatic cancer top of mind for decision-makers.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. Progress takes persistence, and the stakes are too high to slow down now.

Together, we’ve proven what’s possible. Now, let’s keep going — for patients, for families and for the future we’re building. 💜

Be among the first to know when to contact your senators to urge them to support dedicated funding for pancreatic cancer research in FY27. Sign up for advocacy text alerts to stay updated at 🔗 https://pancan.org/get-involved/advocacy/?signupshow=true.

Yesterday's Super Bowl block contest resulted in no winners, but that's no fun because we were excited to give out some prizes! 💲💵💰
So we will be drawing 4 random winners later today. Each winner will receive $100!

What are the chances?
4 quarters.
74 blocks sold.
No winners - every block that won was unclaimed.
But we want to give something back to our supporters. Check back tomorrow, we'll come up with a way to give out some prizes.

Huge thank you to everyone who joined our football pool! The game is now closed for entries. See below for the final grid.

At the end of each quarter, the last digit of each team’s score are the winning numbers. As an example, if the score is NE 13 and Seattle 17, the winning numbers are NE=3 and Seattle=7. Find 3 in the yellow row at the top and 7 in the yellow column on the left – the block where they intersect is the winner for that quarter!

End of 1st quarter: $50
End of 2nd quarter: $100
End of 3rd quarter: $200
Final Score: $300

Prizes will be paid out tomorrow via Venmo.

Good luck!!!
