Steps for a Cure: In Honor of Eliazer Baez

Join us on Sunday, September 26, 2026, at Avalon Park (3651 Avalon Park East Blvd, Orlando, FL 32828) as we come together for Project Purple Steps for a Cure Walk in Honor of Eliazer Baez, a meaningful day of remembrance, community, awareness, and hope organized by the Baez Family in partnership with Project Purple.

In September 2026, the Baez family will mark ten years since the passing of their beloved grandfather, Eliazer Baez. For nearly eight years, Eliazer courageously battled pancreatic cancer through countless treatments, setbacks, and victories. Throughout his journey, he demonstrated extraordinary strength, resilience, faith, and an unwavering love for his family. His determination in the face of adversity became an inspiration to everyone who knew him and continues to impact those whose lives he touched.

Pancreatic cancer affects far more than the individual diagnosed. It impacts entire families, reshapes futures, and creates challenges that extend well beyond treatment. Although ten years have passed since Eliazer's passing, his legacy remains deeply woven into the lives of his family and friends. His love, wisdom, and strength continue to guide them every day.

This walk is being held not only to honor Eliazer's memory, but also to raise awareness about pancreatic cancer and support the ongoing fight for earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately a cure. Through their partnership with Project Purple, the Baez family hopes to transform remembrance into action by helping fund critical pancreatic cancer research and patient support programs.

For the Baez family, this event represents more than a walk. It is an opportunity to celebrate Eliazer's life, share his story, educate the community about pancreatic cancer, and bring people together around a cause that impacts thousands of families each year. Every participant, donor, volunteer, and supporter helps carry forward the legacy of a man whose courage and perseverance continue to inspire those around him.

Whether you walk in honor of Eliazer, in memory of a loved one, or in support of the pancreatic cancer community, your presence makes a difference. Every donation, every shared story, and every step taken alongside us helps bring hope to families currently facing this disease and moves us closer to a future without pancreatic cancer.

Together, we walk for Eliazer.

Together, we walk for all those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Together, we walk for a world without pancreatic cancer.
