Volunteer Registration

By registering to volunteer, you are helping make life better for children with cancer in our community. 

With a variety of ways to plug-in, there is a job for everyone from individuals to teams, school groups or corporate groups, friends and family. If volunteering as a group, please make sure everyone signs-up individually so that we have contact information and waivers collected. During registration, you will be able to note which group you'd like to volunteer with. 

To sweeten the deal, all volunteers will receive a ticket to the Flying Squirrels game in September for ASK Night at The Diamond. New volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt (if you volunteered last year and have your shirt, please wear it!). 

All volunteers need to be 13 years or older to sign-up for a volunteer shift. Volunteers age 13-17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
