PanCAN
PanCAN's mission is to take bold action to improve the lives of everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer by advancing scientific research, building community, sharing knowledge and advocating for patients.
Last year, we raised nearly $20,000 for charity by running 36 miles over 36 hours — with breaks to work, eat and sleep. We called it "Better Together."
This year, we're aiming for $50,000! That wouldn't just be "Better Together" — it would be "Way Better Together."
For 2024, we're expanding our efforts with more branches, more runners and more funds raised for our chosen charities. But the miles? We're sticking with 36.
Join us October 1-2 as the RPS team takes on the challenge of covering 36 miles within 36 hours. Follow along as we put our passion into action!

Why We Run
At RPS, our culture is rooted in teamwork, empathy and taking the initiative. Our shared values remind us that:
- We all need one another.
- Empathy is a strength.
- We adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards.
- We run to problems, not away from them.
In 2023, RPS President Adam Mazan and his Southern California team took that last value to heart, launching the first charity run to make a real impact. But this wasn't just any run — it was 36 miles in 36 hours! Work some, then run some. Eat. Sleep. Work. Run. Repeat!
This year, we're taking it companywide. Join us in supporting RPS branches and runners as they come together to benefit two important charities. Whether running solo or as part of a relay, our team is ready to prove once again that when we work together, we can make a difference.
Let's Make Things Better — Together!
