I was first introduced to the Pap Corps as an employee of UM Sylvester (the beneficiary of their generous funding) and was immediately impressed. In my 20 years in the nonprofit sector, I have never seen anything close to the incredible grassroots efforts of the Pap Corps Champions. The 20,000+ members are the most dedicated, passionate, loyal, educated and supportive volunteers I have ever encountered. Each member has a heart to serve cancer patients and ensure the physician-researchers at Sylvester can advance cancer cures. For over 70 years, The Pap Corps has impacted generations of people battling cancer.

In 2012 an X-RAY showed that I had a growth on my lung. New to Florida, one of my friends tole me about the Pap Corps and Sylvester Hospital. I immediately joined her chapter in Boca Pointe. Next thing I new I was enrolled at Sylvester in Deerfield Beach...with new construction underway...The Doctors drove up from Miami to see us new patients, most of whom were diagnosed with Breast Cancer. The Drs monitored my lung with a variety of tests for almost two years. They were not ready to perform very involved lung surgery. They decided since it did not grow nor move, they would continue to monitor it without surgery. I then transferred my Pap Membership closer to home to the Huntington Pointe Chapter in 2014 when then became an Open Chapter, and became a Lifetime Member. In 2020 Pap Corps Corporate asked me to establish a Chapter in Polo Trace where I live. I did gladly! Ours is an Open Chapter including a Men's Division, with 187 members Strong! I am very proud and grateful to serve this amazing organization!!
I moved down to Florida 10 years ago from New York city
I never heard of the Pap Corps
I was fortunate enough to meet a wonderful group of people who were all working very hard to stamp out cancer
My first year here I ran a dinner dance at Broken Sound club to raise money for the Pap Corps.The event turned out to be a great success . Being a member of the Pap Corps I am able to meet wonderful people who work non stop to raise funds
Three years ago I attended our event where our people were dancing in memory of someone to raise funds
That night was magical
I consider it a privilege to be a member of such a wonderful organization
I have been a proud lifetime Pap member since 2008. Pap's mission is to raise funds for cancer research - for all cancers. And, they have been doing it for 70 years and doing it extremely well. I work with a great group of dedicated men and women who are committed to fundraise to support the research being done at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami. I am honored to be a part of such a great organization.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, The Pap Corps helped me get a referral to a doctor at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami. This saved my life. The Pap Corps is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and has never missed a year giving a gift to Sylvester for cancer research. Our vision is "a world without cancer". My hope is that we will fulfill our vision in the very near future. I am proud to be part of a membership that has over 20,000 members who are working tirelessly to help make our vision come true.
I am proud to work with The Pap Corps.
The Pap Corps along with its constituent's are dedicated warriors determined in their mission to raise crucial funds for cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Pap is an amazing organization! It is an honor to work alongside a dedicated corporate staff, as well as the volunteers who do so much to keep the organization going. The Pap Corps is definitely helping to make a change in the world of cancer research.
The Pap Corps does a phenomenal job of raising funds for cancer research at the Sylvester Cancer Center. The research not only benefits the local community but globally as well.
This Charity does great work. I always receive a notification reminding me when my recurring gift will be taken out and a receipt after it is received.
I have been a Pap Corps Champion for 22 years. During that time I have been a proud member and participated in many chapter and corporate events. It's always a thrill when we present our annual gift to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, based on donations and fundraising events held all year. This year, despite variants of the Covid-19 virus, our check was $3.5MM million dollars. All for cancer research!

I heard about The Pap Corps when I turned on the CBS 12 West Palm Beach and they were doing a story on a new program they provide called Survivorship Mentors. This is a program for Pap Corps Members to be trained to be Survivorship Mentors to patients going through treatment at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer. I appreciate the Pap Corps providing support for patients and believe mental health is just as important to surviving cancer as the cancer treatment itself. I am now a donor.
I am a donor & volunteer to this nonprofit. I appreciate how hard they work to raise funds for cancer research for Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research is the largest volunteer organization in South Florida. I am proud to volunteer for this organization.
The Pap Corps is South Florida's largest volunteer based non profit. Its incredible to know this organization is right in our backyard. The works these volunteers to for Sylvester and the amount money they raise is incredible.
The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research, founded in 1952, concentrates its primary focus on raising money to fund the more than 270 different research projects currently underway at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Sylvester has been named one of the major cancer centers in South Florida and one of only two in Florida with NCI Designation. We are a volunteer organization that consist of 50 chapters and over 22,000 members throughout Broward, Dade and Palm Beach Counties.
This organization means the world to me and my family. Over 20 years ago my mom started the Pap Corp Chapter at Woodfield County Club. She helped raise the money to bring Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to Deerfield Beach. Unfortunately she developed inoperable lung cancer and passed away. Woodfield continues to honor her memory with a fundraiser each year in her name “The Bobbi Friedman Memorial Card Party.”
I continue to be touched by cancer – My Father In Law passed away recently from Glioblastoma, and several friends have recently been diagnosed with breast, thyroid and uterine cancers. At one point in our lives we are all touched by cancer in some form, whether personally, a loved one, friend, relative or business associate. Our only hope for finding the cure in the future is to ensure the continuity of ongoing cancer research today!
Our vision is “to imagine and help create a world without cancer.”
I have been with The Pap Corps for several years. I started out as a volunteer and continued to a full-time employee. What led me to The Pap Corps was purely personal. I am a cancer survivor, and lost my husband and both parents to cancer. I sought out an organization in which I could give back to others the strength that I had gained - to others going through the same challenges. Over the years, I have come to know and love the volunteers who give their time, and their hearts and souls to fundraising for cancer research, most of whom are cancer survivors or who have lost loved ones to this dreadful disease. The Pap Corps partners with The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and each year, presents a check to Sylvester, representing the funds we raised, making up a very large portion of the breakthroughs in cancer research being done at Sylvester by their amazing physicians and medical staff.
In 2018, Sylvester earned the prestigious "NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE" ("NCI") designation. Sylvester joins a highly select group as one of only two NCI-designated cancer centers in the state of Florida, and one of just 71 across the nation. The Pap Corps was instrumental in making this happen.
Most of us have been touched by cancer in one way or another. As we look forward to a future to eradicate cancer in our lifetime, The Pap Corps is one non-profit organization that should be on the top of everyone's list in which to donate.
From the moment I started working with the Pap Corps, i was apart of the family. The team has been so helpful and loving to me and my family. They are some of the most hard working and dedicated individuals I have ever had the pleasure to meet!
The Pap Corps is an incredible organization. Everyone involved is very kind and focused on working together to create a world without cancer. Anytime you interact with someone at the Pap Corps you immediately feel the genuine love, support and care for those individuals impacted by cancer. I have volunteered with many organizations around south Florida and the Pap Corps is one that I will continue to partner with to make a difference in our community and our world.
My mother started a chapter of Pap Corps over 20 years ago and I am a lifetime member. I love the mission and can only hope that by raising critical funds for cancer research that one day we will find a cure.
To know one day because of the Pap Corps our children will not have to experience the pain of losing your love one from cancer. This organization has saved so many lives. So proud to be part of this wonderful cause.
I got involved with the Greater Boca Cancer Unit because growing up my mother was Vice President of Cancer Care. Unfortunately, she died at 51 from pancreatic cancere. I am now at a point in my life that I can give back and hopefully make a difference in my efforts with this organization. I am now involved in a motivation group, to brain storm, and move forward into the future to find a cure for this disease.
I became involved in the Pap Corps many years ago after losing family members and friends to Cancer. After being President of the Greater Boca Raton Unit I was elected to serve as Education VP. The more I found out about the wonderful medical breakthroughs at Sylvester the more I was determined to help raise funds so a cure for cancer can be realized in our lifetime. With hundreds of clinical trials and cutting edge research msny "modern miracles" are being performed and it is because of our dedicated 21,000+ volunteers. As a "grass roots' organization we have raised between 3-4 million dollars in the past years. We are able to donate 98% of the monies raised to Sylvester for research. As a perk of membership, our members are given VIP tratment at Sylvester and the University of Miami Hospital. We have 52 units in Palm Beach, Broward and Dade counties and our fund raising activities are very popular. I am proud to be part of this wonderful charity.
