Calling all Volunteers
The Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation is looking for volunteers to be part of the TeamCCF Cheer Squad.
TeamCCF has two members who are raising money all year long for the Foundation.
Delorean Ostrom is running a marathon every month in 2022 for his fundraiser Racing for Hope and Jonathan Whiting is swimming the English Channel in July for his fundraiser 21 Miles of Hope.
Each volunteer will receive a short-sleeved, green Cheer Squad Shirt and an awareness wristband. We ask that you attend one of the listed events for a few hours. You can make your own signs and choose a spot to spectate. We appreciate any time you can give.
Below are the dates and locations. If you are interested in one, please email claire.condrey@cholangiocarcinoma.org.
