We can make an impact one life at a time. Our organization greatly values both the small and great efforts that our members make to improve our community and help those affected by cancer.
About Us
Our Mission
PACT is a student run organization at the University of Pittsburgh dedicated to strengthening the daily fight against cancer. We strive to accomplish this through funding innovative cancer research, advocacy, and service. 100% of our proceeds are donated directly to the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
Our Vision
Each day, people in this world hope that their loved ones return to good health. Here at PACT, we aim to make cancer a "thing of the past". We aim to replace that hope with reality.
Our History
In April of 2015, PACT was founded by a group of similarly-minded students, who felt there should be more of a grassroots effort to raise money for cancer research. By April 2016, PACT held their 1st annual 5K and raised $5,000 to donate to the Hillman Cancer Center. Each year this group has found more success. To date, PACT has donated over $60,000 to fund innovative cancer research.
