Brittany Charles- Volunteer since 2017
I moved to Rochester in 2017 and being a Cleveland native, I was very unfamiliar with the Rochester area so decided to get more integrated into the Community. I went to a Board & Volunteer Expo where I met Holly Dutcher, Executive Director of C.U.R.E. There, we discussed our mutual love for The St. Bonaventure Bonnies and I learned of how great of an organization C.U.R.E. is and I knew I had to get involved.
I joined the Board of Directors the following spring. The first event I volunteered at was the Survivor’s Day Picnic, where I had the opportunity to help pass out food to the children and family of survivors or those children and families still fighting their battles. I was absolutely blown away by the support of the community and the genuine happiness in the kids’ smiles when I just offered them some chips! From there I was hooked and have volunteered or helped out just about whenever I am able.
If interested in becoming a recurring volunteer, a one-time volunteer or simply learning more about what we do, reach out to myself or Adella Ivison – all are welcome!
The Chefs from the American Culinary Federation that attended the 2019 C.U.R.E. Brunch were just wonderful. The food was amazing!
The C.U.R.E. Board of Directors was a great help on managing check-in, check-out, registration, greeting and so much more!
Our amazing Kid Chefs that participated in the 2019 C.U.R.E. Brunch, were enthusiastic and very talented.
Just look at those smiles!

Have you ever wanted to be Santa??
We are looking for Sponsors for our families to help make the holidays special for our C.U.R.E. families.
Private Sponsors will adopt a family and shop for them for the Holidays. Gifts will then be dropped off at the C.U.R.E. office wrapped or to be wrapped and then we will have the families come and pick them up.
