'Jeopardy!,' recently made a donation to a
pancreatic cancer research walk. The walk is hosted by the Lustgarten Foundation

Naperville, Illinois, on July 14. Holzhauer donated $1,109.14 to the walk in
honor of “Alex Trebek and all the other survivors.” The specific amount is a reference to

first announced his battle with stage four
pancreatic cancer in March. In May, Trebek revealed he was “near remission” because
some of his tumors had shrunk by more than 50 percent.
