CENTRAL OFFICE VOLUNTEER AWARDS
The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Central Office wishes to encourage, recognize and thank the volunteers who contribute their time, talent and efforts to make the work of the Foundation such a success each year. Volunteers play many roles in working with the Foundation: from answering phones to making pink ribbons to organizing Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure events in their communities. Volunteer support is invaluable, and the Foundation would not be able to achieve its goals without their dedication.
We encourage you to nominate a volunteer who has demonstrated an exceptional commitment to the Central Office volunteer program. A volunteer awards program has been developed to celebrate the diverse volunteer contributions that volunteers make to the Foundation. A minimum of one volunteer from each award category will be selected:
