Our family medicine and residents weren’t the only winners in the LAFP Foundation Fundraisers. Attendees were feeling lucky and won big in the Mystery Box Prize Drawing. Attendees purchased tickets for the Standard Prizes starting at $250 or the Premium Prizes valued from $750 to $1,500+ and took a chance to win some exciting prizes. Prizes included sports tickets, hotel stays, restaurant gift cards, spa certificates, and more. Tickets were drawn live during the President’s Party, where winners got to pick and open their mystery box—no hints, just pure luck and excitement!
The LAFP Foundation Board of Directors extends a sincere THANK YOU to everyone who purchased tickets! The future of Family Medicine is bright in Louisiana. 100% of the monies raised by these fundraisers support the Foundation’s outreach and recruitment efforts for our future – our students and residents. All donations to the LAFP Foundation are tax deductible.

The President’s Party was a Kentucky Derby themed event sponsored by Primary Care Plus. During the President’s Party, the LAFP Foundation auctioned off an Alligator Hunt donated by Thomas Jones and Inshore Fishing Trip donated by Moreau Physical Therapy, Dr. Rabalais and Dr. Robichaux.
