Giving and Volunteering »Board of Associates

What is the Board of Associates?

The Board of Associates is a long standing group of volunteers who support patient care and cancer research at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Since 1965, the Board has grown to include six member organizations, which raise money for research and patient care through special projects and events. Over the years, they have raised more than $16 million dollars.

What Do Board of Associate Volunteers Do?

Our wonderful volunteers join together to do many things, including:

• Raise money for research and patient care through special projects and fundraising events. These include our flagship event "Plain and Fancy: A Taste of The Greater Delaware Valley," which features food and drink tastings, entertainment and a wonderful silent auction. We also organize Hop for the Cure, craft bazaars, fashion shows, garden parties, golf tournaments, seasonal gift wrapping and the Trading Post thrift shop in Paoli, Pa.
• Offer the opportunity to make memorial and honor gifts in support of Fox Chase's cancer programs.
• Volunteer in many areas of the hospital.
• Provide educational programs to our communities.
• Conduct student and adult tours of the Fox Chase Campus.
