The Pap Corps is a fundraising organization focused on supporting cancer research and treatment, primarily through contributions to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. Since its founding in 1952, it has accumulated more than $110 million in donations, including a notable $50 million pledge in 2016 that established The Pap Corps Campus at Sylvester in Deerfield Beach. The group operates across Florida, with a network described as comprising tens of thousands of volunteers organized into multiple chapters, all aiming to fund cancer-related initiatives. The Pap Corps traces its name to Dr. George Papanicolaou, recognizing his work in cytopathology and early cancer detection, and maintains a long-standing commitment to supporting all types of cancers. A recent development noted is the appointment of David Bakelman as CEO in July 2017, reflecting organizational leadership changes within the nonprofit.
