The Pap Corps champions for cancer research is one of the largest grassroot organizations in the United States and the only one in southeast Florida. It is made up of nearly 20,000 men and women and 51 chapters in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Its mission states: 

 

   “To raise crucial funds for cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine.” 

 

For over 70 years, The Pap Corps has supported the many research programs at Sylvester giving nearly $110 million dollars including a $50 million dollar pledge. Sylvester is the only NCI designated cancer center in southeast Florida and one of only 71 throughout the United States.  Cancer does not discriminate and has affected all of our lives in one way or another. So, The Pap Corps supports all types of cancer.

Dear Pap Members:

 

What prompted me to commit to a monthly donation to The Giving Train?  It was a silent promise I made to myself and all those family members and friends who I lost to cancer over the years--simply put, I found one more opportunity to support the next survivor by helping find the cure:  That is the mission of The Pap Corps, funding research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.  My being a survivor in and of itself should have convinced me, but it was those who didn't survive that I cared about the most.  You and I know there are many organizations that are worthy of your support, but if ever you should need an NCI designated medical center, Sylvester is the one, and the only one in south Florida.  It offers you the trials, treatments, and hope that could make the difference saving yours or the life of someone you love.   Please consider signing on to "The Giving Train."  Thank you for taking the time to read my note to you.
