Fall Conference Attendees Get Ready to Give Back!

by Jessica Mantella, PA-S
AFPPA Northeast Student Representative

Get ready, because AFPPA’s Fall CME Conference & Exhibition is just around the corner! Between the numerous educational sessions, hands on workshops, and social events, the AFPPA has strived to make this conference more memorable than the last! This year, the AFPPA has chosen two charity events that will be hosted during the conference.

The annual 5K Fun Run/Walk will take place on Friday November 6th at 7 a.m. All proceeds from the 5K Fun Run/Walk will benefit the student scholarship fund as well as AFPPA philanthropic causes. So pack your running shoes and don’t miss this opportunity to view the scenic atmosphere nestled within the heart of Phoenix--- all while helping a great cause!

AFPPA will also be giving everyone an opportunity to participate in a fundraiser to benefit the Wellcare Foundation through "AFPPA Cares" Bears. The Wellcare Foundation provides assistance to working single mothers who cannot afford healthcare for their families. It also provides much needed medical supplies and transportation to office visits. These Bears will go on sale during the conference. Please join us in raising money for this worthy cause and get an adorable reminder of your generous donation. As Physician Assistants, many of us have been driven to our profession by our desire to help our community. So, don’t miss out on these great opportunities to get involved in Phoenix! We look forward to seeing you there!
