Bras for a Cause

The volunteer work that I participated in was the fundraising for the breast cancer walk, Bras for a Cause. The fundraiser was for the Safeway team that walks a 6k walk during the night while wearing decorated bras for the support of breast cancer. I joined Jesse, Latrell and Jordan at Safeway to sell cupcakes at the entrance of the store while the three of them wore decorated bras. We sold home made cupcakes for $3 each but donations were accepted too. I noticed that people are really willing to donate to charities regardless of the cost and there are a lot of people willing to donate to the charity even without getting anything in return. We easily got plenty of donations. People that had cancer or knew people that had cancer became really emotional and shared their stories with us. I felt so sad for those people because they lost a loved one to something that they could absolutely do nothing to change.
After doing this volunteer work, I feel like donating to charities for a cause that you feel emotional towards is very important. Since breast cancer has no cure, donations are needed in order to progress closer to an answer. There are also many other diseases out there that aren't yet curable so it is important that the funds are present in order to keep interest and progress. I've learned that donating to a cause with just a dollar can  help in a big way.
