Established in 1988 by the Association of Faculty and Friends (AFF), the Peace Tree Project has become a symbol of joy and giving, as well as a custom to honor and remember loved ones.
The AFF of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine is a nonprofit organization with a mission to support and promote medical education, research, clinical care and scholarship; provide a community of friendship to members through interest groups; and serve the needs of the community of which it is a part.
