About CCC
Cure Cancer Café is Monta Vista Octagon's largest event of the year where we anually fundraise
over $10,000 towards the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Throughout the years, we have raised over
$110,000 towards the cause. Cure Cancer Café caters dinner and entertainment to roughly 300-400
participants for a contribution of $20/person.
What You Can Do
There are many various ways that YOU can participate in Cure Cancer Café:
Become a Committee Chair:
If you have some extra time and dedication, you should apply for a
committee chair and help the officers with planning out the event. If you are considering
becoming an officer in the future, being a chair is a great way for the officers to get to know
you better.
Waitering/Volunteering:
If you want to participate and help out the day of, you can become
a waiter or help by volunteering. If you waiter, you'll have to attend a few training sessions
and be present before and during the event. If you help volunteering, any amount will be
mostly for decorations, setting up tables, etc. Both are highly appreciated and will be counted
for hours.
Donating/Attending:
Both donations and the ticket fees will go towards the American Cancer
Society so if you want to contribute but are not able to attend, you can always donate. And if
you want to attend, you should be able to buy tickets from any officer.
Miscellaneous:
Closer to the event, there will be member emails that can state certain
specific ways that you can help out for the café.
