Purple Light Milwaukee

Local residents are turning the campus of Marquette University purple on Sunday, September 30 to call attention to one of our nation’s deadliest cancers – pancreatic cancer. PurpleLight National Vigil for Hope is an effort by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the national organization creating hope in a comprehensive way through research, patient support, community outreach and advocacy for a cure, to honor those who have fought pancreatic cancer and celebrate survivors, while raising community awareness about the devastating disease.  The event is among 60 PurpleLight vigils taking place across the country with thousands expected to turn out in honor of a loved one or friend.
