Recognizing our Volunteers

On April 11 we celebrated our amazing volunteer "All Stars" and the work they do to help us accomplish our mission of providing compassionate, professional cancer support and education in the Northwest Region today and tomorrow. We served hot dogs and hamburgers and fixin's provided by Arvest Bank, a "home run" of a cake made by Rick's Bakery in Fayetteville, and handed out some certificates and cooler bags as tokens of our HUGE appreciation for all the support they have given us over the past year.

We have 212 volunteers in our program who, together over the last 12 months, have provided 4,398 hours
of service to our patients and staff at a value of $138,118.00.

That is a ridiculous number of hours! It adds up to just under 37 weeks of volunteer time!! Wow. We are so humbled by that kind of dedication. And we are immensely grateful for all that our volunteers do... they make our events more exciting, our patients feel a little more comfortable and cared for, and our work more efficient. In short, they support us... so that we can make a difference in the lives of as many people in Northwest Arkansas as possible.  

We can't do what we do without them.
