Volunteers at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Huntsman Cancer Foundation contribute to the organization through diverse service roles, ranging from providing art projects for patients to supporting fundraisers for marathons.
The Huntsman Cancer Foundation SportsFest serves as an athletic charity event designed to raise funds for research, treatment, and prevention at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Participants can support the cause by cycling, walking, or running to help work toward a future free from cancer.
Individual stories highlight various ways people engage with the institute. Walter Chu, after receiving treatment at the Huntsman Cancer Institute following a dual cancer diagnosis, has begun giving back through the Huntsman Cancer Foundation SportsFest. In another instance, Jason Howard has raised thousands of dollars for the institute by running marathons, including a 100th marathon held in honor of his grandfather's 100th birthday.
Other forms of advocacy and service include members of the Breast and Gynecologic Cancers Research Advocacy Group, such as Deb Jordan, who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Additionally, Chris Moss serves as a customer service supervisor at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, overseeing donations and volunteers to create connections through service and dedication.
The institute offers various volunteer opportunities, with long-serving volunteers describing the experience as rewarding.
