PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope
The
National Capital Area Affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network will
join tens of thousands of people in 80 communities across the United States on October 27, 2013
for PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope to turn the country purple, the color
of pancreatic cancer awareness.
The event will be held on at Upper Senate
Park, on the grounds
of the US Capitol at 6:00 p.m., 200 New Jersey Avenue, N.W.
Registration is now open at www.purplelight.org. The
candlelight vigil will commence National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in
November by remembering those who have fought pancreatic cancer and honoring
pancreatic cancer survivors.
