About us

How it all began

I wanted to do something amazing to help our world.  As a childhood leukemia survivor (from the 1970's when prognoses were quite bad), I felt I survived for a reason and had to make a difference with my life and give back in some way.  I’d been trying to figure out how...with little time and money.  Then, finally one day I thought of it, I would start a Volunteer Club!

Our club is called The Proud Volunteers (my friends named it in honor of me, but I just usually say Volunteer Club :).  We've been volunteering together every month since January 2007.
