A tradition of fundraising for OAFP Foundation (Foundation) programs through an annual quilt raffle was begun by Diane Todd and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) auxiliary members in 1990. In 2000, a new twist on this tradition was introduced when OAFP Past Presidents Mark Belfer, DO; Ross Black, II, MD; and Mary Jo Welker, MD; sponsored the purchase of the quilt and activity overall so that all raffle proceeds would benefit the Foundation’s programs.
The Foundation is pleased to announce that tickets are officially available to purchase for this year’s quilt. Once again, the talented Sarah Sams, MD, past president of the OAFP, will create a beautiful, handmade quilt for this year’s winner.
Purchase your tickets today for the opportunity to win this year’s quilt.
Tickets are one for $10, six for $50, or 12 for $100.
The winner will be drawn and announced during the virtual Annual Membership Meeting on Sunday, August 13.
Proceeds from this activity go directly to programming that cultivates student career choice in the specialty of family medicine. Since 2021 through this summer’s programs, over 500 medical students and residents have been or will be impacted by Foundation programming in some capacity. Your contribution through this activity or a direct donation is vital to continued success!
