As the semi-finals draw to a close, contestants are upping the ante — by not only raising awareness of pancreatic cancer, but raising money for its research, as well.
Jeopardy! fans may have noticed the contestants in Tournament of Champions donning purple ribbons over the past few weeks — not only to recognize Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, but to show support for host Alex Trebek in his fight against the disease and to honor Larry Martin, the 2018 Jeopardy! Teachers Tournament champion who died of it earlier this year.
— Steven Grade November 5, 2019 "That is why we are organizing a Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions charitable play along," champion Steven Grade wrote. "On November 14 and 15, tune in for the tournament finals and keep track of how many questions you answer correctly." In June, James Holzhauer, who is appearing in the Tournament of Champions, donated $1,109.14 — a nod to his daughter's birthday — to the Lustgarten Foundation’s Naperville Walk. On the donation website, he wrote,"For Alex Trebek and all the other survivors."
