HOW YOU CAN HELP

The LAF relies heavily on volunteers who are committed to our mission. There are a number of ways that you can help:

• Office Volunteer: If you reside in or near Austin, Texas, you can volunteer at the LAF office by assisting with a variety of administrative tasks. Office volunteers help keep our administrative costs down and help ensure the LAF's resources can be dedicated to helping people with cancer live strong.

• Evening & Weekend Volunteer: If you are in the Austin area, but cannot work during regular business hours, you may be added to our list of evening and weekend volunteers. These volunteers are contacted via e-mail when an opportunity arises.

• Event Volunteer: LAF events would not be possible without volunteer support. Volunteers are contacted via e-mail when LAF events require volunteer assistance. These are great volunteer opportunities for a group or family:

• Ride for the Roses Weekend
• LIVESTRONG™ Golf Invitational
• LIVESTRONG™ Gala
• Other Special Events

• Community Grantee Volunteer: Volunteering your time with one of our community grantees, which are located all over the United States, is a great way to support our cause in your own community. These organizations are funded by the LAF and often work directly with cancer survivors and their loved ones. *Please note that these are limited to states where a grantee is located.*

• Peloton Project: The Peloton Project is the LAF's major grassroots fundraising and outreach initiative and brings together a diverse group of volunteer fundraisers dedicated to helping people living with cancer get the support they need to live strong. In 2004, 7200 Peloton Project members from all 50 states and 21 countries collected more than $5.6 million in donations for the LAF.

• Advocate: Becoming an advocate for cancer survivorship means letting your voice and the voice of those affected by cancer be heard by lawmakers. By simply writing a letter or making a phone call, you can ask your Members of Congress in Washington, D.C. to support issues that are important to cancer survivors and their loved ones.
