Cancer Lifeline Salutes Our Volunteers

In early spring Cancer Lifeline usually holds a gathering to celebrate our volunteers and we make award presentations to key people who have made an extra effort in furthering Cancer Lifeline's work. This year we celebrate our volunteers virtually - in every sense, from surprising them with their awards in a Zoom meeting, to singing their praises online in our social media posts and on our website. Please join us in applause for this year's Volunteer Award-winners!

The Dorothy S. O’Brien Award was awarded to CL Volunteer Jeanne Hall. Established in 1990 by an anonymous donor as a tribute to Dorothy and her belief in the importance of self-determination and empowerment. Learn more about Jeanne here .
