A Promise of Hope Affair: Supporting Patients, Celebrating Impact
Each year, Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF) proudly hosts A Promise of Hope Affair—a signature gala and fundraising event held in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. This elegant evening features a formal seated dinner, exciting silent and live auctions, and lively dancing. Most importantly, it serves as a powerful opportunity to raise critical funds that directly support PAF’s patient services and, for the last 25 years, the Scholarship for Survivors academic awards program.
To learn more about this year’s event or to register, please visit Promise of Hope.
Fundraising All Year Long
Beyond the gala, PAF’s Development and Events team organizes and participates in a variety of community-based and national fundraising initiatives throughout the year. These efforts include:
Birdies for Charity presented by TowneBank - a fundraising program offered by the Dominion Energy Charity Classic and PGA TOUR/PGA TOUR Charities, Inc. that strives to make a difference in our community by maximizing charitable contributions.
