Event Description:

The Rolfe Foundation in partnership with The Lustgarten Foundation is hosting a 5K walk-run to raise awareness and funds for early detection pancreatic cancer research.

What we'll be doing:

One Brickers will be working the Post Event Refreshments Table. On the morning, during and after the event, we will be in charge of organizing refreshments (bagels, fruit, hot dogs, lemonade, etc.) before the event. Crowd control as well as refreshment distribution will be organized so that the "back of the pack" runners/walkers are able to enjoy the refreshments as well, after the run/walk finishes. This duty also includes cleanup, break down of boxes and collection of bags.

What you should know:

Volunteers can dress comfortably, and t-shirts will be provided for the event.

Where to Meet:

The DASH will take place in Grant Park where Randolph St. meets Lake Michigan (in front of the Columbia Yacht Club).

Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation:

The Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1999 by the family and friends of Michael Rolfe. Michael died of pancreatic cancer two weeks after diagnosis and the family decided to start a foundation to support early detection pancreatic cancer research and support services for patients and their families. The Foundation raises charitable funds to provide grants to research institutions who work on cutting-edge early detection pancreatic cancer research such as Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions and The University of Chicago. The Foundation also makes grants to local cancer wellness centers for pancreatic cancer support groups.
