South Florida’s Largest, Volunteer Cancer Fundraising Organization
With 20,000 members strong, The Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research is South Florida’s largest grassroots fundraising organization. Together, we strive towards our collective vision— A World Without Cancer. All funds raised at our events benefit Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. There, physicians and scientists work on groundbreaking research programs to eradicate all forms of cancer.
The Polo Trace Chapter
The Polo Trace Chapter of The Pap Corps was established in May 2021. We are proud to be the 51st chapter of this prestigious organization. Our Board consists of dedicated people who have been active members of The Pap Corps for many years. We are an “Open Chapter”, and as such, invite men and women who are not residents of Polo Trace to join. In addition, we have a Men’s Division, whose function is to set up special fundraising activities!
