Volunteer Opportunities with CURE

Volunteers are the heart of CURE. They give of themselves with selfless dedication and an unmatched commitment to helping children with cancer and their families. If you are interested in lending your time and compassion, there are many ways you, your company, group, or organization can participate and share in our mission. Here is an overview of some of the most impactful ways you can help. If you are ready to sign up, please fill out the form at the bottom of the page.

For more information on any of these suggestions, please contact Nick Griffith at [email protected]. 

CURE Family Support

Frequently, children with cancer have lengthy outpatient clinic visits or hospital stays, and CURE helps by providing several things for patient families. If you are looking to support children and families affected by childhood cancer, there are many ways you can assist families currently in treatment. From meal and snack bags to toiletry bags, no-sew blankets, and more, our CURE Family Support Programs offer immediate assistance. We also provide birthday bags for children celebrating a birthday while in the hospital and caregiver respite kits. Should you be interested in these, suggested items will be sent to interested volunteers.

This is an excellent volunteer opportunity for businesses, school groups, or other organizations to get involved and benefit childhood cancer research and family support.
