Our Million Dollar Mission Goal will be obtained this year!
<img src="https://d1dyafm86wwlzl.cloudfront.net/51cb5af79385ccf0b344e84fb6c03577.jpg">This year's 18 Hole Stroll marks a historic milestone for our founder, Brittany Vose. When Brittany began this journey after losing her father, John Vose, to pancreatic cancer at just five years old, she set an ambitious Million Dollar goal to be reached by the age of 30—which is this year! As we prepare to hit this incredible mark, Brittany is getting ready to pass the baton to new leadership. While she transitions her role, the Walk itself will continue to move forward, ensuring the legacy of hope and research she built continues for years to come.
The 18 Hole Stroll is on the verge of achieving Brittany's goal, reaching a historic milestone. Since its inception, the 18 Hole Stroll has raised an incredible $950K in support of the Lustgarten Foundation. This year, we are set to surpass $1 Million in cumulative fundraising! Your participation is the key to helping us cross that finish line together.
By joining us, you are continuing Brittany's legacy of turning grief into actionable hope and helping us fulfill the vision she set out to achieve.
The 18 Hole Stroll is an exciting and heartwarming fundraising event honoring the lives of those lost to pancreatic cancer and providing hope for all impacted by this devastating disease. In support of the Lustgarten Foundation—the largest private funder of the world's preeminent pancreatic cancer researchers—we have one collective mission: transform pancreatic cancer into a curable disease!
100% of all donations and fundraising fund lifesaving pancreatic cancer research.
Event Details:
<ul><li>Date: June 7</li><li>Activities: Following the walk, join us for a lively Silent Auction, inspiring speakers, and a morning filled with remembrance and action.</li><li>Participation: Registration is free! Fundraising and donations are encouraged—Register, Donate, Share.</li></ul>
Whether you're walking in memory of a loved one, supporting a friend, or simply joining us for a fun-filled morning, the 18 Hole Stroll is the perfect way to make a positive impact.
