Challenge Grant

Challenge Grant
height= Let’s Keep Going!
The Jeffrey Rosenzweig Foundation generously donated $100,000 to pancreatic cancer research if we could raise $100,000 to match this donation. We are excited to let you know that we have reached our goal – $200,000 for pancreatic cancer research - and The Rosenzweig Foundation has generously agreed to match another $10,000!!!!  

Don't miss this last opportunity to have your donation doubled! This means that a $100 donation becomes $200 toward pancreatic cancer research - bringing us closer to the cure..

Please help spread the word. Cancer treatment advances are the result of scientific research. But research follows dollars, and in spite of being the nation's fourth leading cancer killer, pancreatic cancer receives only 2% of federal research funding. More money is needed to help researchers identify better treatments and a cure for this disease.

And because of Cablevision's support, 100% of your donation will go toward research and every dollar you donate will be matched by the Jeffrey Rosenzweig Foundation.

Donate towards The Challenge Grant and have your donation matched!

Thank you for your support.
