Plain & Fancy is sponsored by Fox Chase Cancer Center's Board of Associates, a well-organized group of women and men who volunteer time and talents to support patient care and cancer research at the Center.

Since 1965, the group has grown to include six member organizations, which raise money for research and patient care through special projects and events. Over the years, the Board of Associates has raised more than $16 million for Fox Chase.

All proceeds from the event benefit cancer research and prevention programs at Fox Chase.
