Pay-it-ForwardWednesday, April 30, 2008 - Thursday, December 31, 2009We would like volunteers to tell three friends or family members about the CCC Scholarship Program and ask them to pay it forward. In addition volunters are asked to do one nice thing for someone, a random act of kindness. This will not only promote our scholarship program, but an atmosphere of kindness.
Financial Donations Needed for College Scholarships100% of the money donated will be used directly for a college scholarship for a childhood cancer survivor.
CameraWe need a camera for the organization so that we can take pictures during events. This would help with promotion and marketing, recording various events that we coordinate, and would allow us to improve the visuals on our website. This is especially important considering that moving forward we want to expand further into digital media.
Office SuppliesWe are a growing organization so little things to help us stay organized are always helpful! Sharpies, post-its, scissors, notepads, and the like are all appreciated. We are very colorful people and appreciate simplicity!
