Young Professionals Society

Our Founder, Pete Bossow, was 30 years old when he died of cancer and started FPS. He saw other young people struggling with advanced stage disease and wanted to make the journey easier on them with the gift of respite. Let’s live like Pete and help move our mission forward for young families.

Join our Society and engage with young professionals, cancer ambassadors and emerging leaders (ages 21 to 35) through social, networking and fundraising events. Membership is easy and requires only your commitment of $10 per month to FPS. Your generosity is a restricted gift that will go directly to help a family experience respite each month!

A Word from Our Former Young Professionals Chairpersons:

“Joining the FPS Young Professionals Society has allowed me to connect with fellow young professionals in my area while also giving back to For Pete’s Sake. The Society offers many great opportunities to both network & volunteer with like-minded individuals, which allows us to serve the greater mission of For Pete’s Sake. I joined the FPS YPS because I saw it as a great way for me to connect with other young professionals in my area who are also passionate about the For Pete’s Sake mission.” – Caroline Duffy, USI Insurance Services

“When I first came across For Pete’s Sake, I immediately fell in love with the mission. Being able to provide a “break from cancer” for those families facing that challenge and give them a real, life-changing experience. I wanted to find a way to be more involved and that opportunity presented itself through the FPS Young Professionals Society. Along with other professionals, ages 21-35, we hope to spread the mission of For Pete’s Sake to those in the next generation with our philanthropy driven mindset.” – Frank Fanto, Essent
