Community events
Each year numerous community events and fundraisers benefit patient care, education and research at Upstate Medical University. These organizations and the events they conduct are varied in nature, as are the causes they support. In 2020, there were over 35 Facebook fundraisers alone, totaling nearly $36,000.
The Upstate Foundation shares information before and after events in support of individuals, organizations and companies. Follow us on Facebook at The Upstate Foundation.
