The Pap Corps

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016 dedicating The Pap Corps Campus at Sylvester at Deerfield Beach. The Pap Corps derives its name from Dr. George Papanicolaou, a pioneer in cytopathology and early cancer detection, who introduced the world to the revolutionary test, commonly known as the Pap smear. A small group of women began the organization to support his efforts, and over the decades it has grown into an organization of over 21,000 men and women, in over 50 chapters, who raise funds to support all types of cancers.
