Attend a PAF Awareness Event

As a nonprofit organization, Patient Advocate Foundation relies on the support of our audience to bring awareness of our services to populations that need it as well as to raise money to continue to support our programs.

Fundraising Events

Each year, Patient Advocate Foundation hosts a themed gala and fundraising event called A Promise of Hope Affair in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. The formal evening is filled with a seated dinner, silent and live auction and dancing. Funds raised during this event provide financial support to PAF's direct patient services and the Scholarship for Survivors academic awards. For more specific event details or to register, visit www.promiseofhope.net.

In addition, throughout the year, PAF's development and events team coordinates numerous community-driven and national fundraising initiatives and events that benefit PAF patients. Events may include group or individuals raising money as part of 5K or 1/2 marathon distance runs, employer and employee contests and fundraisers that donate profits to PAF, college fraternity and sorority fundraising events, as well as many others. If you are interested in hosting or participating in a fundraising event benefiting PAF, please visit our volunteer page for details and contact info for our event staff.

"While a cancer diagnosis is difficult in itself, the endless difficulty in communication with healthcare companies is even more difficult! For now, we have what appears to be a better understanding of the coverage we have available should the specialty hormone therapy medication be the choice my husband makes. Thank you so much for your assistance! We appreciate your help! God bless you in the days to come!"
“Thanks so much for your help. It meant so much to end the sleepless nights and not worry with these rent and medical debt situations. So once again thank you PAF from the bottom of my heart.”
"We are extremely grateful for the assistance the PAF provided. It was very difficult to find anyone who could assist us- there is no State Ombudsman,and the State Insurance Commission, Medicaid, and other groups were unwilling or unable to advise us. We finally found the PAF through AARP, and we've already recommended it to others."
