Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at a fundraising event for Children’s Hospital & Research Center Foundation. Special events serve as a catalyst for raising valuable resources that benefit our young patients while building awareness of the pioneering healthcare available at Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland.

Each year, we present up to ten fundraising events, ranging from our annual Chase the Blues dance party to a 5K/10K Devil Mountain Run. We are always in need of volunteers to help plan and prepare for these events and welcome your involvement.

Becoming a volunteer is easy!

Review our events calendar to learn about upcoming volunteer opportunities, then sign up online.

Please note that volunteers must be 18 years or older for all events, except the Devil Mountain Run where volunteers must be at least 14 years old. Additionally, we ask that you not bring children to the event. Volunteer activities will keep you busy and you will not be able to provide proper supervision.

If you have any questions, please call us at (510) 428-3885 ext. 5226 or email Joanne Spenser.
