Meet New Staff Member Pam Shaw
Pam's years as a volunteer and her fundraising know how are a perfect match for Lazarex. She will be involved in organizing many of our 2012 fundraising events and supporting the Team for Life division.
After being out of the corporate working world for 17 years, I've decided to go back to work part time for Lazarex Cancer Foundation. During those 17 years, I raised two wonderful children who are now a Freshman and Sophmore in high school, and always kept myself busy doing volunteer work for the kid's school, (CERT) Community Emergency Response Team and the American Heart Association.
Just last year, I decided to find volunteer work in the cancer related field. I'd discovered Lazarex and started doing some fundraising for them. When Lazarex decided to put on the 2010 Gala at Castella de Amorosa, I'd volunteered to assist. It was a great experience! Later this year, Lazarex decided they needed someone to come on board to be their Program Facilitator. It seemed like a good fit for both myself and them. I'm now working part time and look forward to helping make a difference for those dealing with cancer.
Anyone who wants to welcome Pam can give her a call at 925-820-4517 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
