CURE serves lunches and dinners on regularly scheduled dates at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Egleston & Scottish Rite campuses) and Memorial Children's Hospital in Savannah, GA.
Brown Bag lunches are delivered to the patient's caregiver who may not have the opportunity to leave their child's bedside, or cannot afford to eat yet another meal in the hospital cafeteria.
Especially upon initial diagnosis, families spend unplanned time in the hospital. CURE provides toiletry bags to families who may not have packed for an overnight stay. You may collect and donate supplies for these toiletry bags, which CURE will distribute to families.
Children battling cancer spend days, weeks, or even months living in the hospital. CURE enjoys offering “Boredom Buster Bags” to children of ALL ages, offering them a little bit of joy to break up their day. You may collect supplies and assemble Boredom Buster Bags, which CURE will distribute to children inpatient.
For families battling cancer, the financial burden of eating out for a majority of meals can really add up. CURE provides families with snack bags to help ease the burden. You may collect and assemble non-perishable snack bags, which CURE will distribute to families. (Please note, no additional notes or information may be included in these snack bags.)
Taking place one Sunday each April in Atlanta, GA, thousands come together for an annual 10K/5K/2K Run/Walk. Volunteers are needed for all aspects of the race, from setup to race registration to t-shirt distribution.

Immediately following Lauren’s Run, race participants, as well as families who have a child diagnosed with cancer, are invited to attend the CURE Picnic. Volunteers are needed to assist in this fun-filled day, which includes a picnic lunch, inflatables, arts and crafts, carnival style games, a cake walk and SO much more. Sign up for CURE volunteer emails to receive notification of volunteer opportunities surrounding the CURE Annual Picnic.
Hosted in September, at the beautiful Intercontinental Buckhead, this luncheon honors mothers of children diagnosed with cancer. Volunteers are needed for set up on the Friday before the event as well as the day of the luncheon.
