Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Make-A-Wish ® Atlantic Provinces. It is only through the hard work and commitment of our volunteers across our region that we are able to continue granting more wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions each year.

We salute you and thank you! By volunteering with Make-A-Wish, you will be able to contribute your valuable time, talent and expertise to bring unforgettable moments of joy to the lives of children.

Volunteers organize our special events, sit on our Board of Directors, help in the office, and work with us as wish grantors. Please contact us if you would like to donate your time and talent to make children’s wishes come true!

Volunteer Spirit Award

Nancy Lamrock demonstrates everything that a volunteer should: dedication, consistency, generosity, energy, creativity, a sense of humour, and a strong desire to build our chapter and our mission. The challenges and difficulties faced by our wish children and their families are always uppermost in her mind as she dedicates countless hours to our chapter. For these reasons the Board of Directors and staff of Make-A-Wish Atlantic Provinces have nominated Nancy for the 2009 Volunteer Spirit Award.

For the past two years, Nancy has been our bookkeeper on a voluntary basis. She comes into the office every week to keep track of all aspects of our bookkeeping and organizes our financial records for the year-end audit. When required, she communicates on behalf of our chapter with Make-A-Wish Canada on financial matters as well. She participates in our annual budget discussions and liaises with our staff to ensure financial controls are in place and implemented. Over and above this she also brings in donations and attends special events as a volunteer, helping to ensure that they run smoothly.

Among her many attributes, it is Nancy’s spirit of giving and generous heart that make her an exemplary volunteer.
