Kosten Foundation Overview

The Kosten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research was founded in 2003 by the family of Herb Kosten after his death due to pancreatic cancer. Kosten’s family sought to improve community support, awareness, and funding for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest known cancers. The organization has raised nearly $2,000,000 for pancreatic cancer research.

Judy Herron and family remembered their "Grams" by walking a 5k after the rain had cleared. Grams was in the hospital the year of the very first Kick It 5k and Judy has participated every year since then. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Judy!
