Volunteer with The Jackson Copeland Foundation
Join us in the fight to end leukemia and support patients and families!
At the Jackson Copeland Foundation, we believe that everyone has something to give—whether it’s time, talent, or simply a voice. Our volunteer programs are designed to be flexible, impactful, fun, and accessible to anyone, regardless of location.
Want to help us with social media marketing? Have an idea for your own fundraiser? Running a marathon or 5K? Skydiving for charity? Want to host a charity golf tournament, banquet, auction, or other function?
We’d be honored to support your fundraising efforts by creating an event page, fundraising links, QR codes, and handling all the boring stuff like receipts and tax deductions!
Volunteers play a critical role in our mission. From organizing community blood drives that keep patients like Jackson alive, to registering life-saving donors for the National Marrow Donor Program, to coordinating fundraising efforts that fund vital research and patient/family support, your work directly saves lives.
Remote & Self-Paced Opportunities
We understand that life is busy. That’s why many of our volunteer opportunities are designed to be fully remote and self-paced. Whether you are an individual looking to give back, a student needing service hours, or a group looking for a service project, we have a place for you.
Ready to Make a Difference? If you are ready to help us create a brighter future for leukemia patients and their families, please submit a volunteer application today.
