Volunteer Training

We hosted a volunteer training in July where thirty Buddies, Chapter Leaders and Ambassadors joined us in Denver. sanofi-aventis provided an education grant for this event.

The event provided attendees with information that they can use as a frame of reference in their communities, educated them about the CCA's programs and facilitated information sharing and networking. The seminar took place on Friday, June 26, 2009; it was conducted in conjunction with the Denver Undy 5000 5K run, which was held on Saturday, June 27, 2009. Among the highlights were workshops on Empathetic Listening and Communication Skills, Fundraising and Grant Writing.

The CCA is grateful to have had this opportunity to connect with our volunteers and provide them with further resources in the local fight against CRC. We are impressed by the professionalism, dedication and passion of our chapters. We look forward to similar events in the future as we continue to grow.

"Thank-You to you and your awesome staff for organizing and getting us to Denver for the training and the Undy. This training was very helpful and inspiring to us. As always, I am awestruck by the survivors and caregivers. This has truly re-charged our batteries and lets us know that we are not alone in this fight to spread awareness across our country!" -- Shawn-Marie Lisenmayer, Voices of Central Arizona Chapter
