URGENT: Canadian Cancer Society- Retail Pin Volunteer ( Vancouver and Tricities )
ORGANIZATION: Canadian Cancer Society - BC&Yukon
Please visit the new page to apply.
The Canadian Cancer Society is currently looking for enthusiastic and community minded volunteers to support the annual Daffodil Campaign.
During the month of April, daffodil pins and fresh cut flowers are sold across Canada to raise funds and awareness for the Canadian Cancer Society. Wearing a daffodil pin is a way to show Canadians with cancer that they are not alone. Funds raised through the Daffodil Campaign will make a difference by helping to build community awareness and capacity for research, cancer prevention, and support programs for those living with cancer.
April is the month to fight back!
Retail Pin Volunteers work with the Retail Pin Leader in their community to assemble, distribute, service, collect and track boxes of daffodil pins in retail locations close to their home, work or school.
We are currently recruiting for positions in Downtown Vancouver and the Tricities area.

Mission Statement
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. Read more: http://www.cancer.ca/en/about-us/our-mission/?region=on#ixzz3EN0Udl4x
Description
The Canadian Cancer Society was officially formed in 1938, but the seeds for the Society were planted back in 1929 when the Saskatchewan Medical Association formed the country’s first cancer committee.
Today, the Society is the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada. The Society makes more impact, against more cancers, in more communities, than any other cancer charity in Canada.
With your help, we can change what it means to have cancer. In the future, we will be able to successfully treat it, better manage it or outright prevent it, so no Canadian has to fear this disease.
Help save the lives of those who mean the most to you by becoming a volunteer or a donor today.
