Our Story
The Pap Corps was inspired by Dr. George Papanicolaou, the pioneer of the Pap smear technique for early cancer detection. Founded in 1952 by passionate cancer cure activists, this organization has evolved into a powerful force in cancer research funding, supporting the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami. With over 20,000 members across 50 chapters, The Pap Corps has raised over $110 million for cancer research.
