Foundation
In 1987, the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP) founded the IAFP Foundation, which later became the Family Health Foundation of Illinois. The Foundation shares resources and information with the AAFP Foundation's network of 39 affiliated chapter Foundations. The IAFP and its Foundation are two separate organizations that enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship. They are closely aligned in their missions and collaborate to improve healthcare for Illinois residents. The Foundation aims to support the philanthropic needs of family physicians in Illinois while providing programs and assistance to family medicine residents and medical students, encouraging more Illinois students to train and practice in the state.
Encourage philanthropic endeavors that will support the growth of family medicine in Illinois. Empower stronger patient/physician partnerships in the state. Support educational and research initiatives that further the development of family medicine.

Thanks to IAFP members Dr. John Sage, Dr. Sandra McGowan Watts, and Dr. Lisa Richardson for bringing their families to the game. The Sky were down early, rallied in the second half, and eventually lost 94-84. The Foundation still scored well with the Virtual Pledges by Dr. Ronald Rembert and Dr. Shibani Munshi, whose pledges were bolstered by the Sky's 84 points.
