Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation
The Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation's "Put Your Foot Down" Melbourne walk in May draws a large crowd of supporters.
MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: AVNER PANCREATIC CANCER FOUNDATION

The Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation began as Avner's Fund after co-founder Avner Nahmani was diagnosed with the disease in 2007. He and his wife, Caroline, had the goal of raising $1 million for pancreatic cancer research, and although Avner passed away late in 2008, this goal was reached within two years. Fast forward to 2019, the foundation has raised more than $10 million and has been a driving force for pancreatic cancer awareness in Australia.

COUNTING DOWN TO THE ANNUAL MEETING

We can't wait to see you in sunny Florida in just a few short weeks. Get ready to see old friends, meet new ones, brainstorm, collaborate and feel motivated to get back home and put your learnings into practice! This year, you'll learn from leading pancreatic cancer experts and our Hill+Knowlton partners will be onsite to guide discussions about World Pancreatic Cancer Day. We'll see you there!


MEMBER RESEARCH UPDATES

We invite all of you to share on our closed Facebook group links to your research program or other research materials that would be of interest to Coalition members (for example, blogs. publications, clinical trials information, etc.)


SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND HASHTAG GUIDELINES

As a reminder, we are sharing assets on a regular basis to heighten awareness of the Coalition and promote "Demand Better" so that it becomes a year-round message. We've shared guidelines for social media posts that you can personalize and use as well as hashtag guidelines to review!
