We Can't Do It Alone - Celebrating Our Volunteers

As Volunteer Appreciation Month draws to a close, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for our Volunteers, Host Committees, and Event Committees that support CARES around the United States. Each of our volunteers brings their unique talents and enthusiasm to our mission, and it’s their commitment that truly makes a difference.

Volunteering is a display of dedication and embodies CARES' core value of collaboration. Whether our volunteers are helping behind the scenes, setting up events, working registration tables, gathering silent auction items, working event production, or hauling items to and from event locations, their contributions have an immense impact. Many of our volunteers have connections to cancer or are cancer survivors themselves, finding purpose in giving back.

Volunteering demands a lot of energy and time, yet our amazing supporters show up again and again with unwavering dedication to our success. This selflessness is nothing short of inspiring.

It's because of our incredible volunteers that CARES can grow our community, create countless memories, and spark hope for those diagnosed with cancer. Thank you for being an integral part of CARES!
