Happy National Volunteer Month!

Did you know our caring volunteers have already dedicated over 370 hours to supporting individuals and families impacted by cancer since January? From spreading smiles at our therapeutic social events (a.k.a our Connect Program) to being a friendly face in Texas Oncology’s infusion area, our volunteers create help and hope wherever they are.

We are celebrating a very special ‘volunteer’ this month, or should we say ‘volunteers’? Congratulations to the TCU Pre-Health Institute for receiving Cancer Care’s top volunteer award during Volunteer Appreciation Month! This group of volunteers has consistently dedicated their time to making a HUGE impact in uplifting cancer patients, survivors, and their families – while pursuing their degrees in healthcare.

Max, a TCU Pre-Health student who volunteers at our Connect events, said, “The opportunity to pour joy into these kids’ lives is not only a blessing, but it’s also a two-way street. The love you give here is returned tenfold and it’s always the highlight of my weeks.”

Another TCU Pre-Health student who dedicates their time to Cancer Care said, “I enjoy volunteering with Cancer Care Services because I know I am helping to make a direct impact on the lives of the children and families you all work with. The small part we play in spending time with the kids and families means so much to me personally, especially when I talk to the parents, and they express just how much of a difference we make for them.”

Thank you to the TCU Pre-Health Institute and all of our amazing volunteers for the care and compassion you give to our families!
