ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteer from Home
We currently have volunteer from home opportunities for requesting sponsorships, conducting prospect research, asking clubs to fundraise for us and contacting businesses to partner with Hugs for Brady. You can call, email or mail letters to businesses, individuals and personal contacts to ask for their help.
We are also always in need of volunteers with daytime availability to help make phone calls to assist with our Brady Buggy Wagon Program. We need volunteers who can contact hospitals nationwide to ask if they would be open to receiving a Brady Buggy Wagon in order to be matched with donors. We also ask volunteers to call to check in with hospitals who have received a wagon to see how they like it, hear success stories, and more.
This opportunity is great for you if:
- You are seeking a longer-term volunteer opportunity.
- You are comfortable with computer software (e-mails, spreadsheets, GoogleDocs, etc.)
- You are comfortable making phone calls and have access to a phone.
