Purple Paddy's is back for 2024!!

Run or walk virtually or use a local 5k to fundraise and spread awareness

On the weekend of St. Patrick's Day 2024 (March 15-18th), Purple Paddy will be back with a virtual 5k for a world without pancreatic cancer.

Purple Paddy's 5k is 100% virtual, allowing you to walk, jog, or run your 5k from wherever you are (even your treadmill... or a field of clovers) - all while raising important awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer research and patient aid.

You can stay in the loop with other members of our Project Purple family who are also participating by joining and posting in this Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1396507254490704

This will be Project Purple's first of a 3-part virtual series for 2024.

By making your miles matter you are supporting Project Purple in 2 ways. First, you are bringing patients hope by supporting our patient financial aid program and sending care packages to those battling. Secondly, you are directly impacting and advancing research for early detection and a cure.

We encourage you to set up a team and invite your friends and family to join you in making a difference. Participation can happen from anywhere. Share your fundraising pages and make an even larger impact.

Everyone who registers will receive a virtual bib and a Purple Paddy's T-shirt. (Register by 2/21 for the best chance to receive your shirt in time for event weekend)

There are also sponsorship opportunities available for one or all of the 3 events. Message Sam D at sam.dacosta@projectpurple.org for details.

T-Shirt Info:

Register for $35 and receive the 2024 Purple Paddy shirt.

If you'd like to receive your shirt before the run/walk*, you must register by Feb 21. Otherwise, you will receive your shirt after the event. Shirts are only available for shipping within the continental U.S.

* = We cannot guarantee you receive your shirt on time in all cases due to the potential for shipping constraints and errors.

Fundraising Rewards

In addition to the shirts, we also have some awesome rewards and prizes to give out as a thank-you to those who fundraise. Any individual who raises over $150 will be given a limited edition Purple Paddy's trucker hat. The top fundraising team will receive the coveted "Top Fundraiser" Hoodies (limit 10 hoodies per team).
