ADVOCACY
Children need increased research funding and better treatments to fight childhood cancer.
Meet Our Heroes
a smile goes a long way
bring hope and encouragement
Our Pot of Gold program has provided hundreds of children, and their siblings, with a moment of encouragement and hope in a long battle with childhood cancer. It is important to us that we recognize and celebrate our superheroes and we show up big for their courage and be the voice saying, “we are with you”. This mission has led us to over 100 children hospitals, and we need to reach more.

our long term mission
Reach Children Fighting Cancer in the United States
GRCF works with a number of children’s hospitals and has delivered hundreds of Pots of Gold – but it isn’t enough. We want to make sure we bring hope and encouragement to every child who needs it at that critical time. We also want to see increased research funding and better treatments for children fighting cancer. We want to be a voice for the voiceless.

Why We Need You
You get to meet childhood cancer families
Few organizations provide you with a chance to meet the heroes we support directly. Our Pot of Gold program is a direct patient support program and your volunteer experience can include opportunities to meet them and be the one delivering hope and encouragement.
Online training makes it easy for you to get up to speed
Our online volunteer portal helps you to learn what you need to in order to join Gold Rush Cure Foundation as a volunteer. Simple videos and guides will tell you about our process and make it easy for you to represent GRCF and be an advocate for children fighting cancer.
We plan ahead so you can volunteer when you want
The Pot of Gold program is well planned and each delivery has a process. We help you manage this and plan ahead so you can volunteer when your schedule allows. Flexibility is essential. GRCF will still occasionally do last minute and urgent requests but we will send an email for sign-ups when these opportunities come up.
Represent GRCF at events and fundraisers
Help represent GRCF at fundraisers, events and in-person functions. We would love to have you represent us and children fighting cancer. Our volunteers are given in-person opportunities through our volunteer portal. Â
