Funders and Supporters

The People in Pain Network would like to acknowledge and thank all those who have supported our mission to provide education and support to people living in pain. Without the generosity of these organizations throughout the past year we would have not experienced the growth we have achieved or been able to help people living with chronic pain. All of the grants from Pharma companies are unrestricted educational grants and the companies have no influence on the information or materials provided by People in Pain Network. A special thank you to our supporters during the past year for their unrestricted funding.
