How You Can Help

   

   People often ask…

What can I do to help? How can I be involved?

  We are here to answer that! The options are limitless, and with a little creativity, which our team is known for cultivating, we can use this to further the mission of Elevate even more than you can imagine!

   Here are a few basic ideas, but please don’t let this limit you in reaching out to share what unique ideas you have. We will find a place for you, no matter the interest or time you have to offer!

Here are some areas we are looking to fill with those willing to pursue improvements for our children with cancer:

   Spreading the word.

   Are you passionate about sharing the work of Elevate on social media? We’d love your help. We are currently on Facebook , IG, and LinkedIn . Share with your contacts and interact with our feeds, it helps boost visibility and draw in those we would not encounter on our own.

   Do you enjoy hosting gatherings?

  Elevate would love to share our story of hope with your friends over coffee, cocktails, in person or on Zoom! 

>Are you a member of a club or association?  We are eager to share our journey with your members! Thanks to our amazing volunteers we can accommodate any age and would even love to speak with youth to help the next generation be equipped to work in connection with us.

Do you own a business or run a foundation? We can’t wait to start the conversation.

  Not a lot of time but still want to help?

   We’ve got that covered for you. You can host a peer to peer fundraiser that is completely virtual!  Birthdays, Celebrations, ‘In Honor’, ‘In Memory’ or anything else you can dream up, we can help coordinate. Let us make your vision a reality while helping dramatically improve lives. Little effort but big results.

   Want something more unique?

   Elevate needs people from all realms. Are you a social worker that can help our Workgroups formulate plans to advocate more effectively for care? Do you have knowledge in event planning? Retired and want to make your downtime more meaningful? Are you a people person and want to connect others with our cause? Have you been moved by our mission and stories but unsure where exactly you can help? What about offering something we can auction for a fundraiser? Like, “Scavenger Hunts by Let’s Roam” has provided non profits like ours! 

 

   Every voice, every person matters and is a valuable contribution.  Elevate can’t wait to start the conversation that will lead to children’s lives that are impacted by what you may perceive are small acts of service. Let’s chat, small acts lead to big accomplishments when we work together, which will help our children live the long, healthy lives they deserve.

Do you have a child that you’d like to share with us as an ‘Elevate kid?
