Pancreatic Cancer
Action Network
Event Day Signs and Visual Graphics Help Make Pancreatic Cancer Run/Walk a Success
The Challenge
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is a national
501c3 nonprofit network dedicated to advancing
research, supporting patients and creating hope
for those affected by pancreatic cancer. As part of
the many ways the network raises awareness and
funds, more than 50 communities across the U.S.
host a PurpleStride run/walk event each year .
The Solution
FASTSIGNS was responsible for seven categories
®
of signs and marketing materials needed for the
run/walk event: registration, wayfinding, event-
specific sponsor information, tent information,
photo opportunities, donations and goodie bags.
To assist the masses as they arrived at the event,
the team created directional signs to help people
find their way to parking, and then to register and
check-in. Numerous large banners were created to
brand the event and keep attendees informed. A

ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT/RECREATION
10’ x 10’ banner backdrop was created for participants
to pose in front of for pictures . A thermometer sign
was displayed to show how the fundraising was
progressing, and drawstring bags filled with give-
aways were given to each runner or walker at the
end of the event .
The Result
“Thanks to the amazing volunteers, this event saw
the highest attendance and donations raised to date,”
said Andrea Hair, FASTSIGNS franchisee. “Increasing
awareness for this devastating cancer is always our
goal, and this year was the best Denver PurpleStride
event so far. I have developed relationships with this
organization that truly inspire me. I love being a part
of PANCAN, and I am so thankful I have a business
that allows me to help them .”
