Your donation stays in Maine.
The mission of The Purple Iris Foundation is to raise awareness, provide support, resources and give hope to individuals and families affected by cancer, in Maine.
Christina Parrish founded The Purple Iris Foundation as a result of what was then her 18 month journey through pancreatic cancer. She was given the life-changing news on June 16, 2008. Needless to say, she initially reacted with shock and then was told that she had only 3-6 months to live with treatment. She was appalled and decided then that no one in her lifetime should be given this news – thus The Purple Iris Foundation was born to help raise awareness and support her fellow patients. Christina is proud to say that she is a 12-year survivor. Christina is living proof that there is hope.
We have created a Cancer relief fund, in partnership with United Way of Eastern Maine for anyone in Maine impacted by cancer and has a need for assistance This was created in response to growing needs of individuals in Maine and the impact of Covid 19.
