Volunteer

It is only through the work of kind, compassionate and dedicated volunteers that the Breathing Room Foundation is able to assist and impact so many families facing cancer.

Breathing Room volunteers work directly with our families, in the office performing administrative tasks, cook meals, perform yard work, make deliveries, advise on fundraising committees, and serve as board members.

Thank you for being an amazing partner in caring for our patients. BRF is a real game-changer in the cancer support space and I’ll be excited to see how it continues to evolve and shape the Philly region’s health systems.

I felt grateful that someone could provide a glimmer of hope to my two grandchildren during a dark time in our lives. Between COVID and my diagnosis, the kids and I felt isolated. The fact that BRF had generous volunteers to go out and shop for us was very uplifting and heartwarming.
