National Volunteer Week - April 14-20, 2024

National Volunteer Week celebrates the incredible achievements of volunteers!

The theme for 2024 is: Every Moment Matters.

Our volunteers are all stars who understand that Every Moment Matters.

We start this week by thanking the amazing committee of volunteers who were Part Of Our Story and made our 50th Anniversary Gala possible. That committee was chaired by Renee (pictured here with her husband Jim, himself a previous member of our Board of Directors), helped by Roseanne, Julie, Maryla, Lisa, Luci, Devon, Renee, Ken, Nancy, and Bo. Together they made a magical night possible and we are so grateful (more photos to come)!

"Why do I volunteer with Childcan?

1. I love the Childcan organization because it gives much needed direct support to kids and their families.

2. It is so rewarding to work with wonderful volunteer tutors who help our children to be more successful at school."

Thank you Jackie for spearheading our Volunteer Tutoring Program, ensuring that kids affected by childhood cancer succeed.

“Childcan was a huge support for my family and I during my cancer journey. They are an amazing charity and it brings me joy being able to volunteer to give back and help other families going through their most difficult times.”

Thank you Allie! You're a star for volunteering with the Windsor Childcan Pyjama Walk, Holiday Parties and so much more...

Volunteering doesn't need to be jarring! Teresa crocheted these emotional support pickles as she wanted our kids to know that they are a BIG DILL!

Thank you Teresa! You're a star who knows that Every Moment Matters! Thank you for all that you do.

"In the face of the most shocking and stressful time of my life, my young son’s cancer diagnosis, Childcan was a constant source of support, both financially and emotionally. I always knew when we got through the storm, I would pick myself up, roll up my sleeves and give back to a community that took me in and guided me through the hurricane that is childhood cancer. So many years later, I continue to be so grateful and strive everyday to do my part to pay it forward."

Dawn, you are paying it forward in so many ways, one of which is in your role as Vice-Chair of our Board of Directors. You’re a star! Thank you for all you do.

We are so very grateful to all our volunteers, not just in National Volunteer Week, but every week of the year!
