VOLUNTEER APPLICATION FORM
Events Volunteers (Fundraising Events).
The Foundation has a number of important annual fundraising events including the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure and various breast cancer awareness activities. These events typically take place during October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and require an array of volunteers with various commitment levels. Organizing committee volunteers work year round to coordinate these events. They help find sponsors, market the event, and ensure all the logistics on the event day are finalized. To host such dynamic events, many volunteers are required on event day to help with event set-up, tear down, food, registration, and more.
