Since its inception, the Westchester Walk has grown to
nearly 1,000 participants, and raised nearly one million dollars for promising
research. In addition to uniting thousands in the spirit of hope, 100% of the money raised, due to
Cablevision’s support, goes to advancing research
 aimed at early
detection, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for pancreatic cancer, the
most lethal cancer there is.

The Lustgarten Foundation is America’s largest private foundation
dedicated to funding pancreatic cancer research. Based in Bethpage, New York,
the Foundation supports research to find a cure for pancreatic cancer,
facilitates dialogue within the medical and scientific community, and educates
the public about the disease through awareness campaigns and fundraising
events. The Foundation has provided millions of research dollars and assembled the
best scientific minds with the hope that one day, a cure can be found.



Cablevision Systems Corporation, a leading media and
telecommunications company, underwrites The Lustgarten Foundation’s
administrative costs, so 100 percent of every dollar donated to the Foundation
goes directly to pancreatic cancer research. The Lustgarten Foundation and
Cablevision are also partners in the curePC public awareness campaign in
support of the fight against pancreatic cancer.
