“Going back to a community that barely knew me, I had only been here a short time - the way they embraced me and my family and supported me through my cancer journey, I’m forever grateful. I’m forever in debt,” Pagano said. “This is how we pay it forward. This is how we pay it back - by encouraging and helping others.”


Helping other cancer patients is something Pagano has been doing since the day he was diagnosed.


“For people who have cancer, they become included in this fraternity or sorority that they didn’t want to be a member of. But actually, it opens up an extraordinary family of love,” said Dr. Pat Loehrer, Director of the IU Simon Cancer Center. “You don’t get it until you’re there, but once you’re there, you realize you’re not alone. And that’s one of Chuck’s big mottos, ‘Never fight alone.’”


On Thursday night, the Colts, the Bears, the IU Simon Cancer Center, players and fans came together and raised $1.86 million dollars to help other cancer patients win their fight.
