The Foundation supports a philanthropic project in the host city of AAPA's annual conference. The purpose is to show support for the host city and to encourage philanthropy within the PA profession. PA campaign efforts have focused on worthwhile causes such as end-of-life decision making, breast cancer awareness, organ transplants, violence prevention, asthma and inner city children, childhood immunization, teenage suicide prevention and mental health, Habitat for Humanity, prevention of childhood obesity, free clinics, and health literacy. We also hold a 5K walk/run at the annual conference. Approximately 600 conference attendees support this event by forming teams, running individually and soliciting support. The money raised support our many programs, which gives these donations back to PAs and PA students in the form of grants and scholarships.
