ONGOING OPPORTUNITIES
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.
Do you have expertise in a field that would help Hugs for Brady continue to grow, or have a special talent or ability which you think would bring joy to a child’s face? We’d LOVE to have you as part of our volunteer team!
We are seeking skilled volunteers in the following areas of expertise to volunteer on specific projects, provide advice and insight, or serve on our committees and boards:
- Attorneys
- Accountants or Financial Planners
- Project Managers
- Healthcare Professionals
- Graphic Designers
- Strategic Planners
We are also always seeking those who would like to dedicate their talents for our events and oncology families. Talents include:
- Face painters
- Artists
- Musicians
- Balloon Artists
- More!
