Human Race Walkers
Requires volunteers to fundraise for Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Association
by gathering pledges and walking with our team in May 2007! Pledge Forms are
available now at our office. Volunteers must raise a minimum of $25.
Pledge forms and Walker/Runner Information Sheets are available at: Human
Race Info & Forms, Jacob's Heart or The Volunteer Center (1010 Emeline Ave,
Santa Cruz; 251 East Lake Ste. 8, Watsonville; or 6116 Highway 9, Felton)
All money collected must be handed in on May 10th during the Human Race
Registration, which begins at 7:00 am. Checks must be written out to "
The Human Race" with "#115 - Jacob's Heart" written in the memo
section. Not only does this fun-filled event create awareness and funding for
Jacob's Heart, but also provides exciting benefits to the walker such as free
breakfast, free T-shirt or scarf, and picnic lunch.
Coloring Thank You Cards
Requires volunteers to use their creative talents by coloring the front of
Jacob's Heart Thank You Cards. Volunteers can do this at home or at Jacob's Heart
during a staff-designated time. This is a perfect activity for classrooms and
volunteers with limited time.
Relay for Life
This is a twenty-four hour American Cancer Society (ACS) event in Santa Cruz
on July 21-22 in Watsonville August 11-12 and in Salinas June 22-23, 2007. Event
volunteers are required to help set-up, register walkers, collect and decorate
luminary bags, walk if part of a team, clean up, etc.
Larger Groups of Young People
Car Wash
This requires the group to fundraise by planning, publicizing, organizing,
and managing a car wash. The day and time is left opening to the Troop Leader or
Organizer of the group. If they require a staff person to be present on the day of
the Car Wash or would like to present the check formally to the staff, a date and
time must be arranged 2 weeks in advance.
Food Drive
This entails a group helping the Jacob's Heart Food Program by restocking
our emergency food shelf. Independently organize a food drive collecting
nonperishable food items such as canned fruit and vegetables, pasta, cereal, rice,
tuna, etc. These groceries are essential; they help fill empty cupboards for
families coming home from long hospital stays.
