Thank you for your intrest in volunteering with the National Stem Cell Foundation to help us raise money for our cause.
Our charity is participating in the 2017 Orange County Marathon, and all funds raised will be going directly to our Patient Assistance Fund, which helps to cover uninsured medical expenses for patients with rare diseases.
Volunteers will be required to complete various tasks at the mile 17 waterstation. Tasks will include handing out water cups to runners, keeping an abundance of filled water cups, and encouraging runners as they pass by. Our teams water station is located at the corner of Sunflower Ave. across from the Macy's Home Store (South Coast Plaza Mall) in Costa Mesa. The NSCF will host a volunteer meeting prior to the race to answer any questions. No experience necissary, volunteers must be 13 years or older.
By volunteering to work at our waterstation, you help the National Stem Cell Foundation get a volunteer reimbursement from the OC Marathon (participation fees for our charity will be largely refunded if we can recruit 20-30 volunteers) and help us to create a lasting partnership with the OC Marathon to continue raising money through events in the years to come.
If you have any questions or would like additional details, please do not hesitate to email me at: colecpetersen@gmail.com
Thank you again for your interest.
Sincerely,
Cole Petersen

Mission Statement
The National Stem Cell Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization funding stem cell and regenerative medicine research and clinical trials in four primary focus areas: Neurodegenerative Disease Autoimmune Disease Rare Childhood Disorders Regenerative Repair NSCF funds promising developments in the field of regenerative medicine, supports research collaboration wherever possible and works to accelerate access to scientific breakthroughs for people in need.
Description
The National Stem Cell Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports peer-reviewed research and clinical trial collaborations in the field of adult stem cell therapies with the potential to treat or cure conditions and diseases affecting people worldwide.
Formerly named the National Foundation to Support Cell Transplant Research, NFCTR became the National Stem Cell Foundation in late 2011.
Many millions of people, many of them children or young adults, may benefit from stem cell therapies being tested in the clinic now.
New fields of adult stem cell research, including regenerative repair and composite (multiple) tissue transplants, have the potential to dramatically improve the lives of people with degenerative disease or traumatic injury.
We believe the application of adult stem cell therapies will significantly reduce global healthcare costs.
We fund researchers and clinicians in a number of strong academic settings and support both collaboration and information sharing wherever possible.
With the ability to see and fund cutting edge research, we hope to create opportunities to leverage and expedite stem cell science.
