Rob Lutterman Ski for a Cure

On July 28^th, 1999, Rob Lutterman lost his battle with pancreatic cancer; he was 63. Later, his family and a group of special friends decided to create an annual ski day to celebrate life, to raise money for cancer research and most importantly, to commemorate Rob, who was an avid skier. The Rob Lutterman Memorial Fund for the Cancer Research Society (CRS) was created to promote and fund research into pancreatic cancer.

Through generous donations like yours, and with the help of the Cancer Research Society, the Rob Lutterman Ski for a Cure Fund has awarded over one half million dollars in strategic pancreatic cancer research funding.

A first grant of $300,000 was awarded to researcher Dr. Norman Kneteman of the University of Alberta. A second grant for the same amount was awarded in 2010 to researcher Dr. Michel L. Tremblay from McGill University in Montreal.

Your donations make a difference.

The funding of promising research, as well as future pioneering work in the field, is made possible through the Ski Day Appeal and donations received throughout the year. CLICK HERE to make a donation to the Rob Lutterman Memorial Fund.

Your donation is doubly important: for every gift received through the Rob Lutterman Ski for a Cure appeal, the CRS commits to matching the funds for this important cause.
