C101 will give every volunteer 20 cancer centers to call. We will provide the volunteers with a letter of request to e-mail to the Director of Marketing and invite them to support C101. We will also provide you with an excel sheet to fill in the contact names and contact information.
Complete instructions on this project will be provided to those volunteers interested in working on this project. |

Phone and e-mail skills. If you are uncomfortable asking the Marking Director for a donation to pay for our shipping costs, we will have another volunteer make those requests.
