Thank You to ANA Volunteers for Making a Difference in 2020!
ANA volunteers do amazing things. They set up fundraising events, write newsletter articles, facilitate Zoom meetings, provide patient and caregiver support, moderate social media pages and the discussion forum, serve on our board of directors, present during patient events and so much more! They make the people who interact with them think, “I want to do that.” They reach out and educate others, or they reach inward and work towards a personal goal. No matter the capacity in which they serve, one thing is clear - our volunteer community is amazing!
