A FUND FOR WOMEN (AFFW), a component fund of The Madison Community Foundation, was established in 1993 to improve the lives of girls and women in our community.  Having first learned of AFFW in late 2004, Parfitt Facial Cosmetic Surgery Center (PFCSC) immediately felt compelled to sponsor AFFW's annual event fundraiser in some capacity.  In 2005, PFCSC contributed $4,000 to sponsor a portion of the media coverage for AFFW's 2005 Annual Event Fundraiser held at The Monona Terrace in Madison, WI. Continuing to learn more about AFFW's focus on helping women succeed by encouraging fresh opportunities and eliminating barriers to self-sufficiency, led us to recognize similarities in the mission of PFCSC and that of AFFW.  In 2006, PFCSC enthusiastically chose to further support AFFW with a gift of $60,000.  The support began in 2006 with a $10,000 gift to AFFW, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Surgery Center, and continues through 2010 with an increase of $1,000 a year.

Face-to-Face is a humanitarian and educational surgical exchange program conducted under the auspices of the Educational and Research Foundation for the American Academy of Facial Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery. In this country and abroad, our surgeons assist those who suffer from facial deformities caused by birth or trauma. Most of our patients are children. Unlike other programs, Face-to-Face is committed to the educational exchange among facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons all over the world.
