No matter which way you decide to get involved, we thank you!
This year’s theme for volunteer week is empathy in action. Empathy is a quality that can help people relate to others and build awareness around different experiences, a sentiment that runs throughout this community. That is why we asked this year’s volunteer award winners what empathy meant to them, and a few other questions to get to know them better. Please follow along this week as we profile our volunteer winners and recognize our entire volunteer base, to ensure they receive the applause, thanks and recognition they so truly deserve.
Myself and the entire staff at Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada would like to applaud the immense contribution that our volunteers provide coast to coast to the brain tumour community. Our volunteers are connected by a common goal, to end brain tumours. This goal creates a caring, compassionate, and collaborative community that we are so proud to be a part of.
Thank you to our volunteers!
