Our Mission
The Pancreatic Cancer Alliance exists to support the efforts of the medical and research communities as well as patients and their loved ones in the battle against pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the United States, but receives the least research funding of the major cancers.

Why crabapple trees? Planting a tree is a promise to the future, and flowering crabapples become more beautiful with each passing year as the branches spread and the blossoms multiply.

And investments in pancreatic cancer research are also gifts to the future with the promise of finding early detection tests, more effective treatments and ultimately a cure.

Sell Bigelow-grown flowering crabapple trees at your garden center, and you'll help, too. Questions? Please email Mary Beth Curnen crabapples@pancreaticalliance.org. Thank you.
