Become a Volunteer
Each year more than 100,000 people walk or run at the Mother’s Day Classic. They do so at more than 90 events around the country, and as a result in the last 21 years, the MDC has donated $33.2 million to fund breast cancer research.
An integral part of the MDC’s success can be directly attributed to the outstanding support we receive each year from our volunteers, without whom an event of this magnitude would simply not be possible. If the MDC had to pay for all the work our fabulous volunteers do it would cost in excess of $1 million.
It is impossible to express how grateful we are for the work of our volunteers, simply put, they are part of the extended MDC family.
If you’d like to become part of the volunteer family and add your contribution to funding breast cancer research, there are a myriad of things you can do for us, but what can we do for you?
