PIONEER PROGRAM.
How it works.
We give you, our participant, an opportunity to raise awareness and funds to support patient aid and critical research. In exchange, we give you the tools and support to be successful in your training and fundraising. If you can’t join us for any of our officially partnered endurance events but still want to be a part of our running program, this team is for you! You can participate in an event ANY PLACE, ANY TIME, ANY DISTANCE, on behalf of Project Purple.Raise $350 or more and receive a Project Purple race day package including a team running singlet, race day bib, and more!
EMPOWER PATIENTS. Get your “VIRTUAL PIONEER” on to battle pancreatic cancer.
Join us in spirit to support our mission of empowering patients and funding critical research, with the ultimate goal of a world without pancreatic cancer.
Choose between a 5K and Half Marathon distance (or suggest a different distance), and go at your own speed! When you join us as a Virtual Pioneer, you’ll receive all the same tools, support, benefits, and incentives as our regular runners without physically attending an event.
To get started, register as a Project Purple Virtual Pioneer and set up a fundraising page to help us reach our goal of $350 per Pioneer. When you reach $350, you’ll get a Project Purple race day package including a team running singlet, race day bib, and more! Let’s get started!
– Get ready to get your Pioneer on! Select your desired date for your 5K or Half Marathon, and get ready to start training. We’ll be sharing training programs with all participants who register with us.
– Fundraising. Setting up an online Classy page is the best way to do this! You can also set up a Facebook Fundraiser, and we’ll add the total funds raised on Facebook to your Classy campaign page.
– Connect to our Project Purple Runs FB page, Strava, and Charity Miles. This is a great way to stay connected to our community of supporters! Share your runs and fundraising strategy, and log those miles towards early detection for pancreatic cancer!
– Tag a friend! Share your story on social media and be sure to tag @ProjectPurple and use #ProjectPurple so we can see! Encourage people in your network to get involved!
Now, more than ever, pancreatic cancer patients need our support.
