Dino Varelli, founder and CEO of Project Purple, and Daniela Jacobson, community events manager, joined us live from the Travelers Championship to share the story behind the nonprofit and its mission to fight pancreatic cancer. Inspired by Dino’s late father, Project Purple has grown over the past 15 years to support patients and families through financial aid, emotional support, and fundraising events that raise both money and awareness.
Project Purple is making a powerful impact. You can get involved through events like the Independence Day Double, the New Haven Road Race, or their fall pickleball tournament. Donations made through Birdies for Charity are also matched at 15 percent thanks to Webster Bank.
