Walk Engagement Committee

The Walk to End Colon Cancer is about raising funds to end this disease and building community. Volunteers are an important part of the success of the event. In each city, we rely on a committee of dedicated volunteers to join the Walk Engagement Committee (WEC) to help us make the event a success. The WEC is comprised of a team of volunteers dedicated to putting a spotlight on colorectal cancer through the Walk. These roles include, but are not limited to:

  • Serve as the face and voice of the Alliance in the community
  • Assist the national staff with recruiting local sponsors
  • Distributing flyers in the community
  • Coordinating volunteers for the day of the Walk
  • Securing in-kind food and beverage donations

We know your time is valuable, so rest assured that this commitment will not monopolize your time but connect you with others who share your passion for ending this disease in our lifetime.

If you would like to join this team of inspiring Colorectal Cancer Alliance supporters, please email our walk team with the word Volunteer in the subject at walk@ccalliance.org.
