I had a great experience building a playset for Arianda. It was my first playset build and I learned a lot and met a lot of great people. I earned service hours for school but more importantly made an impact on a little girl fighting cancer.
Amazing mission - bringing play and joy to kids with cancer. I personally attended a playground build as a volunteer and was blown away by the experience. seeing the impact a playground had on the child, their family and on myself was so incredible. So glad I was apart of it.
This foundation is such an amazing group of people!! I love volunteering with Roc Solid and love watching them make these life-changing experiences unforgettable for the families they support. They are 100% in it for these precious kiddos with cancer and their families and I’ve seen first hand the impact they have on these sweet families during the hardest of times. I love bringing my children to volunteer with me - Their work is life-changing!
After my recent battle with Leukemia, I was determined to find ways to give back and volunteer for a cause that resonated with me. That's when I was introduced to Roc Solid, an organization that captured my heart with its inspiring story, mission, and daily work for children. Roc Solid is a hope for families from the first moment of their child's cancer diagnosis. Serving with Roc Solid has been life-changing, especially working with companies on packing the ready bags and on the days of the playground installation when those volunteers can witness the impact firsthand. There are many ways to support Roc Solid, and one of my other favorites has been volunteering on Warehouse Wednesdays. It has now become a family affair, and we have been privileged to meet the children and parents whose lives were transformed with Roc Solid's support. - TJ Lynch
My husband and I have been volunteering with Roc Solid Foundation for 14 years. I have been a part of the Board and my husband is a Build Leader. We have been on two Play Defeats Cancer tours to build hope for children with Pediatric Cancer: 30 play sets in 30 days! We have been on numerous other local and travel builds. We have found volunteering brings us closer together and fills our bucket with joy! It's wonderful to see strangers come together for a common cause and leave as fulfilled friends. Roc Sold is near and dear to our heart!
Roc Solid works with the community to build hope for children and families fighting pediatric cancer. Additionally, they provide fantastic training and resources for their volunteers. We are equipped with information and support to give and love on these families. Of all the volunteer opportunities I have participated in, Roc Solid is the best experience.
This organization is amazing! If you are looking for a place to volunteer, there are a ton of opportunities. No experience is required to be able to jump right in. If you are looking for an organization to donate money to, you can literally see what your money is going towards. There aren't many nonprofits out there that say that.
I'm in my 4th year of being a volunteer with Roc Solid and I've seen so many times the great positive impact this foundation has had on the many families who have had their lives literally turned upside down in an instant by a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Roc Solid's mission is to love and serve everyone one of these families through their playset and Ready Bag programs and I'm so proud to be a part of it all. The amazing staff and volunteers who pour their heart and soul into this mission are all true heroes!
I have been volunteering with Roc Solid since 2015. Roc Solid is an amazing organization that brings community together to be a light in a very dark place that no family should ever have to experience. They build HOPE, providing a tangible feeling of something to look forward to by, defeating isolation and providing a safe place for kids to do what kids do best, PLAY! While we know we cannot cure cancer we know that we can change the way a family lives with it one at a time.
I always look forward to a volunteer event with Roc Solid. The Roc Solid team and volunteers are always so welcoming, and every event is so special.
There's nothing like visiting a playset build to see the impact of your donation first-hand. Seeing the smile on a child's face when they run to their new playset is an amazing moment. This is joy. Roc Solid makes a positive & rewarding impact on the lives of children with cancer and their families. Wise use of resources by board and staff. Much of the office furniture was hand-built by the Executive Director from leftover wood and building materials to save money. Operations are run mainly by volunteers, and by a handful of paid PT and one FT staff. Effective, efficient and able to produce a lot of impact for children facing cancer with a small investment of donor contributions. Good at reaching out to the community and establishing partnerships with corporate sponsors, volunteers, and other partners. Combines donor contributions with volunteer labor, and brings hope & joy to children and families facing a very serious illness. A winning partnership all around.
Review from Guidestar
The smile on a cancer child's face when they get to see the playground that our volunteers have build for them is a priceless moment, that I will remember every day for the rest of my life. I love every aspect of this foundation; Making kids smile, taking them in a limo ride while volunteers build, fundraising benefits like the Night for the Fight, or our Large Mouth Brown Trout Fishing Tournament. At the end of every day, all that matters to this foundation is, how we can build hope for children with cancer.
