Make a Real Impact.
Volunteer With Us.

As a volunteer driven organization, we need help from our community to do the work we do and there are several ways for people to get involved in a volunteer capacity.
Whether you have an hour to support us at an event, or are ready for an ongoing committment we are always in need of volunteers. This is also a great way to learn more the organization and meet new people.

We welcome groups, schools and individuals.

Volunteer Opportunities

TLC Totes Assembly

Our TLC Totes are given to anyone in WNY newly diagnosed with breast cancer. The totes are assembled at our location approximately every 2-3 months. If you would like to volunteer to help with the assembly (usually a weekday morning for about 60 minutes), please complete this form and our volunteer coordinator will be in touch.

Event Volunteer

BCN has several events and fundraisers every year and we need volunteers for all of those. We might ask to staff an awareness table, sell tickets, set up or help run a basket raffle, set up, teardown, or all kinds of important tasks. We publish a volunteer sign up sheet for each event so you can choose a specific job and time. To see what’s coming up, check our calendar page or view the list below. If you’d like to volunteer for an event, please complete the form at the bottom of this page, or email Rachel at rachel@bcnwny.org

Join a Committee or Our Board

Committees and Board Positions

As the Breast Cancer Network of WNY continues to move forward with our vision to be the leading breast cancer organization in Western New York for community, education, and support, one thing is increasingly clear: We need your help. That help can come in a variety of ways including you sharing your time and talents on one of our strategic planning committees, or by applying to become a Board Member.

Please take a look at our committee descriptions and consider how you might become involved with our mission and work. For more information or to be contacted for a committee, simply fill out the following form.

  • Help us review our current programming and determine what additional programming could be developed to support our mission and those in WNY who have been impacted by breast cancer. Meets every other month on Zoom.

  • Join us in our ongoing effort to get the word out about BCN and our programs and events. The Marketing Committee meets monthly on Zoom. Areas of focus are social media, growing the BCN contacts network, and increasing community awareness of BCN.

  • We are always looking for ways to raise money to fund our programs and to support our annual donation to metastatic breast cancer research. This committee deals with establishing donor and sponsor relationships, conducting fundraisers, and an annual appeal campaign. It meets every other month on Zoom.

  • Help us by being the ear in your community. If you hear of a neighbor or friend who has been diagnosed, connect BCN with them. You can also help by circulating BCN literature and flyers in your neighborhood libraries, community centers, coffee shops or anywhere people look for information. Meets monthly on Zoom.

  • Get involved with our events such as Day of Renewal, Murder at the Mansion, Annual Golf Tournament, and more. We are always looking for willing hands to help create, organize and present our fundraisers and educational events.

  • BCN plans to be much more involved and active in advocacy and public policy and we need help in achieving that. It might mean identifying legislative issues related to breast cancer or with local politicians, attending an advocacy conference or webinars. There are a number of things we want to do to help drive public policy and awareness and this new committee will be the driving force to that goal. Meets every other month on Zoom.

  • Our Board members serve two year terms and we are always looking for individuals passionate about helping those breast cancer along with helping us fufill our mission. If you’re interested in being considered for a board position, please complete the form below.
