We are the voice for those who no longer have a voice to be heard! | |  | Our charitable organization funds Awareness, Education, and Research to further the process of Eradicating Pancreatic Cancer, while exploring healthy lifestyles; by raising funds through Community Building Celebrations, and the Arts & Music.
Foundation's Appeal:
"I can still hear her voice today sharing with me as we used to sit together on the couch, 'Never give up' "
These defiant and poignant words spoken by Mary Ann Yerzy are a gift and challenge to all sufferers and families who battle Pancreatic Cancer.
Our fundraisers mark a beginning toward a goal that will be pursued relentlessly through the good offices of the Mary Ann Yerzy Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, Inc. (501C3). That goal is to support research and education to not only alleviate suffering but to eradicate this dreadful death sentence of a disease.
The Foundation's Need
In the year 2006, approximately 33,730 people in the US alone were diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.
32,300 died from it.
The Foundation's Charter
This foundation begins in the home and the hearts of a real family that reaches out to other families.
This foundation builds community ties with friends and families to secure local resources.
This foundation will build national and international networks to identify and incorparate "best practices" for helping families in need, conducting scientific research, providing medical treatment, and promoting educational public awareness.
This foundation will utilize a three-tiered fund-raising and philanthropic strategy, thus insuring on-going support from local businesses, arts, music, and religious organizations, and national philanthropies.
The Foundation's Unique Character
How do you reach millions of every day people who would otherwise not be aware of the speed and havoc of Pancreatic Cancer? One of many of our fundraisers is to create and produce a movie short that has a "ripple effect" from one person to thousands and millions.
The short and long-term strength of the Mary Ann Yerzy Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is that we will raise and sustain interest in our foundation by means of a romantic film short called BOSTON ROOFTOPS.
The story's characters of Julie and Ryan presents a smiple but true message about living life to the fullest through the eyes of children, artists, and seniors. The briefness of life implies the importance of the moment, especially when Julie is diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and the auidience is drawn in to her poetic peace and Ryan's passion for his new love.
This film promises to capture the sympathy for not only the characters of the story, but the powerful lessons that audiences will take with them. The power of the film will be a strong catalyst for continuing support for the cause of fighting Pancreatic Cancer and finding a way to live life even in the face of death and suffering.
Each year we will award a recipient who is in need for support with their innovative research and/or cutting edge research for Pancreatic Cancer.
Help us help others- especially let us continue to be the voice for our loved ones who no longer have a voice to be heard - May their spirit live on in our daily lives and hearts!
