Volunteers are the Best
Join Our AFF Family
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Addi’s Faith Foundation. We couldn’t continue to pursue our mission if it wasn’t for our amazing Volunteers, Junior Ambassadors and Addi’s Allies. We understand that everyone has unique skills and interests, and we strive to work with each volunteer individually to find the best way to contribute to our cause.

The Addi's Allies Program
We’ll help you create your own mini charity without all the hassle. The Addi’s Allies Program is designed to help pediatric cancer families tell their stories and fundraise to help end childhood cancer or support families with childhood cancer.
Through the Addi’s Allies Program, you’ll join the Addi’s Faith family of parents and children, friends and family, fighters and supporters, all dedicated to the same goal. Don’t let the many challenges of starting a nonprofit extinguish your passion for finding a cure!
AFF has handled the tedious administrative and regulatory tasks involved with a nonprofit. This allows you to focus on your goal!
Once you’ve signed up, we’ll provide you with a toolkit to help turn your vision into a reality!

2023 Junior Ambassador of the Year
Faith Bowden
Faith has been volunteering with Addi’s Faith Foundation for so many years that we can’t really remember a time when she wasn’t involved…and we’re guessing she can’t either. From handing out food/water at our 5K, to referring dodgeball tournaments, to making posters, to participating in the parade, you name it, she’s done it. We are so thankful to have had her help all these years!
2022 Volunteer of the year
Troy and Amy Ahrens
Amy and Troy have worked their tails off at every walk by faith from well before the sun rises until the very last cone was picked up and stored away. They have offered love, guidance, and support every step of all 15 years of Addi’s Faith Foundation.
2020 Volunteer of the year
Jennifer Pisani
This fun-loving, generous girl has been a part of AFF for years, just snapping away at all our events. She worked with us on a project that brought in funds at a time when nothing else was coming in. We adore this beautiful lady who makes sure that all our highlights are captured.
2018 Volunteer of the year
Michele Cazares
Michele has been a part of Addi’s Faith since the beginning and has served in multiple capacities. From serving meals at the Ronald McDonald House, to early morning set-ups at Walk by Faith, to taking care of dinner at Addishack, this woman does it all with a smile on her face.
2016 Volunteer of the year
Melissa Smith
Melissa is truly a game-changer! She has been with AFF from the very beginning and has committed herself to helping at every major AFF event since. Her commitment to the cause runs deep and has spilled over into her sweet children, who also pitch in and help consistently.
2023 Volunteer of the year
The Bowden Family
Philanthropy runs deep in this family, and they are always in the middle of one service project or another. Annually, they wrangle all their friends to join their Walk by Faith team. More than once they’ve allowed their home to be overrun with the collection and storage of items to be distributed to hospitalized kids. They fundraise and they donate. They show up early and they stay late.
2021 Volunteer of the year
The Keller Family
Since the very beginning, no matter the event, this family is there. From parents to children, this family has contributed to AFF in BIG ways. Junior Ambassadors, sponsors, donors, board member, Sunshine Circle members and all-around advocates for all things Addi’s Faith.
2019 Volunteer of the year
The Koehler Family
From handling all of the accounting and payroll, working booths to building parade floats, leading (and being members of) the junior ambassadors, coordinating all aspects of Gold Fight Win, and a million other things, they are always the first to step in to help for the past 12 years!
2017 Volunteer of the year
Cheryl Tomashek
Cheryl has lovingly served alongside AFF from the very beginning to help raise money and awareness for a cause that is close to her heart. Volunteering her time to help others is just a part of who she is, and she has passed this trait down to her children who have both helped with multiple AFF events.
