Outreach Help Needed! October 2019
Hey, Gilda’s Great Volunteers!
October is a month that is chock-full of different community events, run/walks, and cancer conferences. We have the opportunity to continue to spread the word about Gilda’s Club Minnesota by hosting a table with information about our program of support at these various events. With all of the different opportunities, we are looking for help to staff some of these tables! Below are the upcoming outreach opportunities we’re looking to fill with our awesome volunteers:
Time To Fly: Childrens Cancer Research Fund Saturday, September 28th 7:30am- 12:30pm Como Regional Park 1199 Midway Pkwy St Paul, MN 55118

Also happening in October are numerous Shop for Gilda’s 3rd party fundraisers at local restaurants in the Twin Cities area. Volunteers are needed to not only hand out information about Gilda’s Club, but to also encourage shoppers to mention Gilda’s Club at the checkout so a portion of the proceeds will be donated to GCTC!
