I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer in 2004. Purple Pansies is making a huge impact on pancreatic cancer research each year by donating all proceeds to TGen Foundation for cancer research to find a cure.

My name is Howard Young. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at the age of 42. I have since battled (successfully!) stage 4 pancreatic cancer on three occasions over the past 14 years. One of the best unanticipated positive experiences of my cancer journey has been meeting Maria and her wonderful family. They have made me feel like a member

We have been attending the Purple Pansies' event for several years now. We initially did it to support our local community and friends and were quickly educated on pancreatic cancer and the huge funding that is needed to find a cure. We are honored to join Casa Nuova in this fight. Every year improvements are made as they get closer

TGen and Maria make a powerful force in the fight against pancreatic cancer. The work put into the research by TGen and the dedicated fund raising efforts of Maria and her team will bring about a cure one day!

My wife and I attended the Purple Pansies Gala in 2016 and were moved by the experience. The speakers through out dinner that shared their stories of survival, challenge and loss connected like no other fund raiser we've attended. The ongoing efforts of Purple Pansies is worth supporting.

Nancy and I became involved because we wanted to start giving to charity and since Nancy's mom passed from the disease, it was a natural fit for us.  We continue to enjoy our relationship with Purple Pansies and the TGen foundation.
