Be involved in your community!

We have several opportunities for your branch, your department, or you, as an individual, to become involved in your community!
Our goal is to be involved in each of our communities and to provide a variety of ways to serve the communities.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure:

Colorado Springs, CO -September 7th
Denver, CO -October 5th
Charlotte NC -October 4th
Houston TX - October 4th

If you would like to participate in any of the above runs please email me. I will also need your shirt size for a "team t-shirt".

Big Brothers/Big Sisters: All areas

School Based program -
Become a big brother or a big sister to a child that needs an extra caring adult in their life. It is a one year commitment to have lunch with a child at their school each month. Please call me for more information.

Dallas Life Foundation: Dallas area

Dallas Life is a homeless shelter. The commitment is for 3 hours serving food to people staying in the shelter and for some who have no home/shelter but need a meal. (dates to follow once I know the interest)

Ronald McDonald House: All areas

Prepare and serve food to families staying in the house while their child is in the hospital. This can be a 2 group commitment -several people preparing casseroles or desserts ahead of time and then another group taking the food to the house and serving it - usually a 3 hour commitment. (dates to follow once I know how many interested)


If you have an organization in your community that you would like the foundation to be involved, please call me or email information to me and I will be happy to follow up and see how to become involved.
Thank you!
Patricia
