Are you looking to engage your employees through community involvement? Here at DDI we are proud to be involved with a fabulous local organization, the Children’s Cancer Association. We sponsor a CCA served family through the Hope for the Holidays program each December, as well as a table at their annual Wonderball Gala. CCA has a number of opportunities for corporate engagement, and a few examples are included below.
Event volunteer opportunities
CCA’s programs are fueled by fundraising events and throughout the year, we have numerous opportunities that can accommodate corporate groups of various sizes. Tournaments, festivals, and galas are just a few examples of the fun events that rely on your volunteer support.
- Commitment – approximate 3-4 hours, depending on event
- Group size – 5 – 15
- Tasks – Coat check, selling raffle tickets, registration, etc.
Employee giving
- Jeans Days – Offer your employees an opportunity to break dress code, and wear jeans with a nominal donation to CCA.
- Raffles – Run an internal office raffle, with funds raised donated to CCA.
Hope for the Holidays
CCA’s Hope for the Holidays delivers compassion and joy to local families who have a seriously ill child and are experiencing severe financial difficulty. Your group will be matched with a family and given a wish list of requested essential needs, as well as a few fun gifts.
- Commitment – Varied hours in December; financial investment up to $200 per family member
- Group size – any
- Tasks – Gift shopping, purchasing, wrapping and delivery
Corporate sponsorship
Sponsoring a Children’s Cancer Association (CCA) event or program provides an opportunity to build positive brand awareness in the greater Portland and Southwest Washington area; receive unique marketing benefit; create staff engagement opportunities; and support CCA’s mission: To create transformative moments of joy for seriously ill kids, teens, and their families.
Sponsorship and fundraising opportunities start at $1k and go up, and can be customized to meet the needs of your organization!

About CCA:
The Children’s Cancer Association knows that for seriously ill children and their families, every moment is precious. That’s why their programs leverage music, nature, friendship, and resources to create transformative moments of joy for 28,000 children, teens, and their family members each year. At CCA, they believe kids deserve long, wonderful lives. Or at the very least, short wonderful lives. Unlike many organizations dedicated to the worthy goal of someday finding a cure for cancer, CCA is all about creating joy today.
