Throughout the year, our donors and volunteers host events that are crucial to the support we provide to the patients, families, doctors, nurses, and staff at Columbia University Medical Center. We consider it a privilege to help anyone who has been touched by pediatric cancer and blood disorders and who wants to give back. If you are interested in learning more about hosting your own community event, please email Kathryn Leiby or call 212.305.5010. Whatever you have in mind, from a lemonade stand to a formal affair, we can help in many ways, including:
- Help with planning and executing the event
- Finding other volunteers to partner with you
- Connecting you with vendors
- Use of our logo and materials
