During the annual Ohio Academy of Family Physicians’ Family Medicine Celebration, the OAFP Foundation hosted a variety of fundraising activities to support its mission throughout the year. This year’s activities brought in over $10,000—beating last year’s totals by $1,000! Attendees participated in a wine cork pull and Past Presidents’ Quilt raffle.
Each of the fundraising activities raised funds to support the Foundation’s mission to cultivate student career choice in the specialty of family medicine. More specifically, the funds raised during the Family Medicine Celebration will directly benefit the 65 medical students that participated in the 2019 Leroy A. Rodgers, MD, Preceptorship Program!
The Foundation appreciates all of its generous donors! Thanks to all who participated in this year’s events!
Keep an eye out for future articles in the Weekly Family Medicine Update to learn about student experiences in the preceptorship program.
