The Healing Power of Doing Good

Our volunteers are a dedicated group, comprised of professionals and concerned friends with varied backgrounds and talents. These people provide Lucia’s Angels and the CWC with helping hands and generous hearts, making our fund-raising events successful while having a lot of fun along the way.

We have many exciting ways that you can become involved. If you have a compassionate heart, a helping hand and a smile to give come and join our group. Whether you have an hour a week, a few hours a month, or a day to give, you can make a difference. The compassion our volunteers show to our mission, and their dedication is what makes this organization unique.

"Conventional wisdom has always held that when we help others, some of the good we do flows back to us. That satisfaction has always been thought to be largely emotional – feeling good when you do good. Now important, widely discussed research shows that helping others regularly produces significant health benefits as well in fact, it has effects similar to those many of us experience when we exercise."

Volunteer of the Month

Holly & Scott Rubenstein

"Just two weeks before the annual Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show & Auction, we lost our event venue and had to scramble to find a new place. Fortunately, The Clubhouse in East Hampton was available for June 8th, and the owners and good friends of mine, Holly and Scott Rubenstein, helped us transition to the new place flawlessly. They went above and beyond to make sure the event would be the best it could be and even gave us an incredible deal. I'm happy to say the Bra Auction has found its new home, and we are looking forward to making next year's event even bigger and better than ever!"

Our Peer to Peer Program can help.No matter what type of Breast or GYN Cancer you are diagnosed with, we can match you with a thriving survivor with a similar cancer. Cancer survivors give hope and counsel to those new to the world of cancer. You will be matched according to criteria such as age, diagnosis and cancer stage. They have been trained to help you with problem solving, coping strategies and stress reduction techniques. Talking to someone who had a similar diagnosis and who overcame some of the same challenges that you may be facing can be comforting and reduce the sense of anxiety and isolation your diagnosis brings.
