As members of the Papanicolaou Corps for Cancer Research, we are committed to raising crucial funds enabling vital research programs at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Ongoing, dedicated and focused research provides the physicians and scientists at UM/Sylvester the opportunity to continue to discover new treatments and ultimately find cures for the various types of cancer.

Through the concerted efforts of the growing number of Pap Corps Units in South Florida, a broad range of fundraising activities occur year-round that support the Corps’ annual financial commitment to fund cancer research in our belief that…Today’s Research – Brings Tomorrow’s Cure!

The Pap Corps presented a check for $4.15 million to UM/Sylvester at the Annual Donor Luncheon on May 12, 2008 at the Boca Resort and Club.

Celebrating 55 Years

Pap Corps: Your Record-Breaking Gift Will Fuel Cancer Breakthroughs
Thank you for your energy, passion, and generosity.

This year, the 19,000 men and women of the Papanicolaou Corps for Cancer Research raised $4.15 million to fund cancer research at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, far surpassing its 6-year, $14 million pledge.

Because of the Pap Corps’ efforts, UM/Sylvester’s physicians and scientists are better prepared, better funded, and better armed to win the war against cancer. On behalf of UM/Sylvester and all those touched by cancer, we say

“Thank You.”
