Birthday Blast Program Coordinator

Flexible Schedule | Columbia, MD 21046

Great opportunity to help critically ill children celebrate their birthdays! We are looking for a warm, kind person to help coordinate our established Birthday Blast Program. Since 2000, our Birthday Blast Program has presented each child in our program with a birthday gift. Every birthday is precious, but for the kids in our programs, celebrating a birthday is an especially happy occasion. Work with an experienced staff to help special kids in need.

Special Events Coordinator

Flexible Schedule | Columbia, MD 21046

Every year Casey Cares Foundation hosts our Annual Gala, The Casey Cares Foundation Golf Tournament, Casey Cares Rockfish Tournament, Casey Cares 5K and our Rock 'N' Roll Bash in September. Much of our funding comes from these five fun events and we can always use a little help planning them. We are looking for volunteers to work out of our office securing donations for decorations, the live and silent auctions, entertainment for the evening, and goodie bags for our guests. Creativity, energy, enthusiasm, and organization is needed, but the results are worth the effort. Last year's events brought in over $500,000 and lots of smiles thanks to our efforts. This is a fantastic opportunity for a volunteer thinking about going into non-profit event planning, wedding planning, or someone who just wants to help out and work with great people in the process.

Program Development Volunteer

Flexible Schedule | Columbia, MD 21046

We are proud that 95% of donations received support our programs, services, and fundrasing, while less than 5% is used for administrative purposes. That being said, we sure work hard to get in-kind donations for our childrens' programs and we could use some help. Whether it is gift certificates for a pizza pie, tickets for an amusement park, or a seven night cruise to auction for fundraising purposes, out volunteers work hard to secure all kinds of goods and services. Our volunteers work one or two days in the office each week during the hours of M-F, 9-5.

Internship with Casey Cares

Join the Casey Cares Foundation for an internship that makes a difference in the community and your life!! Interns will have the opportunity to learn many facets of the non-profit/service sector including: event planning, direct service, press and media relations, fundraising and development. The Casey Cares Foundation provides unpaid internships to students that are interested in learning and contributing to a growing non-profit group. We serve children throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, Ohio and Florida, with our offices located in Howard County, a few miles from the 175 and 95 intersection. From social services, graphic design, or public relations, to programs, family studies, communications or fundraising, our interns are able to learn the workings of a non-profit and apply their knowledge to produce tangible results for the families that we serve. We pride ourselves on providing internship opportunities that provide a well-rounded experience for our students. We are looking for interns with energy, ideas, and a positive attitude to compliment the rest of our great paid and unpaid staff.

Kami's Jammies Program Coordinator

Flexible Schedule | Columbia, MD 21046

Children on extended hospital stays are in need of extra support. With the monotony of doctors' appointments and treatment, simple pleasures, like receiving a gift of comfy pajamas, can make a hospital more like home. Created in honor of a Casey Cares child, the Kami's Jammies Program provides thousands of pairs of pajamas to children in area hospitals every year. We are in need of volunteers that can help run the Kami's Jammies Program. From in-office work like recruiting folks to collect pajamas, getting shipments together, and nurturing existing donors to out-of-office work like attending PJ rolling events and speaking to groups about Kami's Jammies and Casey Cares, there is plenty to do to help this program grow!

My family has benefited greatly from CaseyCares when my son Braden was battling cancer. Your programs were so uplifting and heartwarming. During our very difficult time, your programs brought joy to the lives of all three of my children. When one child becomes critically ill, it becomes a battle for not only that child but for the entire family, and it's almost a financially impossibility to do even the little things. But with CaseyCares' programs, those stresses are alleviated. My children enjoyed the pajama parties and going to the movies, and had the best time at our weekend getaway to Hershey Park. Without CaseyCares, my family could not have afforded any of these. The CaseyCares foundation makes the lives of the entire family enjoyable during times of crisis, and the entire staff is so incredibly supportive. My whole family just loves CaseyCares and we all want to volunteer. I personally would love to volunteer and give back. Thank you so much!
