The Goal: The Susan L. Bader Foundation of Hope, Inc, is a grass roots non-profit organization that works to give "HOPE" to patients and families dealing with Pancreatic Cancer. Our goal is to raise funding and attention to find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer. The SLB Foundation of Hope embraces the urgent need to find effective treatments as well as early detection methods. Our focus is to support research efforts in the medical community, locally and on a national level.

Mission: The SLB Foundation of Hope will work to fund pancreatic cancer research through fundraising events, and the sale of "cancer awareness" bracelets. One hundred percent of our profits go directly to our foundation for research purposes. Our "HOPE" is to provide funding to researchers who are working to find a cure and/or early detection methods.

Andrea is a breast cancer survivor and lost her mother to Kidney cancer. She has been an amazing gift to the SLB Foundation with her volunteer work making bracelets to help us raise money for Pancreatic Cancer research. Andrea and her husband Jeff are retired and travel the country, but regardless of where her travels take her, Andrea drops everything to create our bracelets and ship out the orders. Thank you so much Andrea and Jeff!
