About ASK Ambassadors

The ASK Ambassador Program invites students and working professionals to lend a hand to support children with cancer! Each year, ASK Ambassadors embark on a fundraising and awareness campaign to engage their communities and make a positive impact on childhood cancer patients and survivors. Together, they help raise public support and critical dollars to support the 6-7 children and families across Virginia diagnosed with pediatric cancer each week.
