Desiree Vargas Wrigley and Jonny Imerman will explain how GiveForward and Imerman Angels can offer businesses and organizations with unique opportunities to not only provide assistance to employees and their family and friends facing major medical challenges, but also provide their employees with volunteer opportunities.
Imerman Angels provides free 1 on 1 mentoring; matching trained “Angels” who have survived cancer and want to help with people beginning their cancer fight or caregivers/family members of cancer fighters.
GiveForward, a mission-driven social venture, provides free online fundraising pages allowing friends and family to raise money directly for a loved one to cover out-of-pocket medical expenses and more.
So where do the volunteer opportunities come in? The most obvious is the opportunity for employees to be “Angels.” But there are more! For example, employees can:
– volunteer at Imerman Angels community outreach events.
– host events to benefit Imerman Angels.
– host fundraising events offline to enhance the online GiveForward campaign.
Are there more? Join us as we explore the possibilities!
