Sky Foundation is a nonprofit organization raising awareness and funding innovative research for the early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Sky Foundation hosts three events to raise public awareness and to be a listening ear to those recently diagnosed. The gatherings, which are both educational and entertaining, are designed to get participants thinking about their pancreas, an organ seldom talked about or understood.
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Sky Foundation awards seed-money grants to scientists and clinicians from coast to coast who are pursuing research of great promise in the areas of early detection, prevention or treatment.
