Manager of Development and Foundation Gifts at Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation - Chicago, IL, US
Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for the early diagnosis and ultimate cure of pancreatic cancer. Our Goals:1. Advance the development of early detection:Just as there are early detection tests for prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer, we support research that works to develop a similar diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer in its earliest stage, when it's most treatable.2. Fund medical research at leading clinical and academic centers:The number of scientific investigators with a demonstrated focus on pancreatic cancer is limited, relative to other cancers. We raise money for top-tier research institutions that can attract more scientists dedicated to pancreatic cancer research.3. Provide resources for pancreatic cancer patients, and their loved ones:It's not always easy to find information about pancreatic cancer. The Rolfe Foundation provides connections to people and places for answers about the disease.
