How I Can Help?

You Could Become A Volunteer

Charities always need capable, knowledgeable, and experienced volunteers. HOPE Cancer Help Centre is no different. We currently require the following:

• An individual to assist the Co-ordinator in finding viable donors and grants. Prior positive experience with grants and proposals preferred.
• Individuals who can volunteer at the 13th Annual Race for Recovery - Sunday, 05 October 2008.
• Creative individuals to serve on the decorating sub-committee for the Annual Dinner and Dance (our second major fundraiser).

You Could Provide Financial Help

There are many ways to provide financial help to HOPE:

• Make a regular contribution through your employer. Your employer may have a charitable giving program that allows you to contribute to the charity of your choice through monthly deductions. Some employers will match these contributions up to a given amount.
• Make single or regular contributions specifying it go to HOPE Cancer Help Centre through the United Way in your community. The United Way will, for a small service fee, forward contributions to HOPE as specified by you.
• Leave a legacy. People who choose this option usually leave a bequest in a will, a gift annuity, or a life insurance gift. There are requirements and may be limitations to leaving a legacy. We advise anyone wanting to leave a legacy, and to take advantage of the tax benefits, to consult with a qualified individual to ensure you understand limitations and requirements and understand all the options of leaving a legacy.
• Give a gift in memory or tribute. Individuals have made donations to HOPE in memory of a loved one recently deceased. Others make contributions to HOPE each year on the anniversary of the death of their friend or family member.
• Support those who participate in our annual Race for Recovery by giving them a monetary pledge for HOPE. Receipts can be requested for donations of $10.00 or more.
• Participate in our annual Race for Recovery and gather pledges.
• Become a major sponsor of our Race for Recovery or our Annual Dinner and Dance .
• Make a donation directly to HOPE Cancer Help Centre.
