Volunteer Registration

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

With so many ways to get involved, there truly is a volunteer role for everyone. Individuals, friends and family, school groups, and corporate teams are all welcome!

  • Volunteering with a group? Please have each person sign up individually so we can collect contact information and required waivers. During registration, you will be able to select the group you would like to volunteer with.

 

  • Volunteers must be at least 13 years old to sign up for a shift. Volunteers ages 13 to 17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.


  • New volunteers will receive a volunteer t-shirt. If you've volunteered in the past and still have your shirt, please wear it again and help us keep things sustainable!
