Review for American Cancer Society Foundation, Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a 11 year volunteer with the American Cancer Society and have been a relayer for 10 years. This has been a wonderful experience for me and has helped fulfill my need to help other people. This organization has so much to offer volunteers, cancer survivors and their families, education for businesses and their employees. I have volunteered in many of the different projects that this organization has to offer. I leave with such a great feeling knowing that what I have shared with others will make their life a little better and hopefully longer. I have never volunteered for any organization that I have enjoyed as much as American Cancer Society.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Helping my neighbor with cancer and her family by giving them educational materials, free wig, and Look Good Feel Better session.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Continue to work for growth and encourage more people to learn what this organization is about.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Being able to be part of a relay that is 1st in our state by having the most teams and raising the most money. My relay team has raised the most money for 4 years.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

have been very helpful, supportative, encouraging and allowing me to spread my wings for the organization.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Continue to provide it's services to many more people.

Ways to make it better...

I always like to be able to tell more people about American Cancer Scoiety

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

Reaching more people that are in need of what we have to offer.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I hope this organization will continue to grow and be recognized for the great organization that it is.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
