"As social people we congregate into groups that love us, nurture us, and support us. We turn to these groups in our times of need. We are also able to see how a positive attitude and the will to live, what we call the survivor's mentality, can fend off even the toughest hardships."

-- Matthew Rider

DONORS
Donors are a major part of who we are. They come to the A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. (AWWWF) and the R.O.C.c.K. Children's Choir as sponsors, contributors, volunteers, or in all of these roles combined. The Foundation is blessed with the gift of givers --- donors who give of themselves in ever-changing ways. It is common for those who become associated with the Foundation to increase the ways they are involved, such as sponsors who add hands-on volunteer work to their methods of giving.

Donors include organizations, institutions, small and large businesses, and individuals from all walks of life. What they all have in common is that they express their caring for children with cancer and finding a solution to the challenges it presents to children and each child's network of friends and family. The supporters of the Foundation express their caring through the donation of their time, expertise, funding, material goods, services, and/or fame and fortune to ease suffering and to strengthen coping skills.

There are many who are not on any list because they choose to be Anonymous. These pages are offered also as a tribute to their untiring devotion and assistance to the Foundation's visions and goals.

If you desire to join the ranks of donors, contact A Way With Words Foundation for more information. If you want to learn more about how you could become involved in the Foundation's work, check out our Wish List for ideas.  Any suggestions that could help The Foundation help others are always welcome.

Volunteers

In a time of need or common endeavor, there are people who join together for a higher vision, and in doing so, create a new relationship to others and to the world. The A Way With Words Foundation, Inc. (AWWWF) volunteers are those precious people who through the sharing of their time, resources, energies, and dedication start a circle of giving that strengthens themselves and everyone they touch in a unique, enduring way. The Foundation is especially fortunate to have Volunteers who gracefully accept the multiplied gifts that return from a giving gesture, and in this way, keep the circle of giving true to its heart of caring.
