The Gift of Giving Back
For longtime Fred Hutch Cancer Center volunteers Karen Leslie and David Hopkins, no two days are alike.
Leslie and Hopkins spent their volunteer shift at the Gift Shop at the Sloan Clinic on one recent Monday, and the next day, they were supporting a project with the philanthropy team.
As Fred Hutch celebrates its milestone 50th anniversary this year, the organization shares over 30 of those years with Leslie and Hopkins.
The couple, married for 41 years, began volunteering with Fred Hutch in 1994.
Leslie, who was in remission for breast cancer, received a call from Fred Hutch to participate in a research study.
Following the study, she called back about volunteering. The volunteer orientation happened to be the next week. One of her first volunteering roles had Leslie operating a cash register at a since-closed bistro.
Author's summary: Longtime volunteers Karen Leslie and David Hopkins share their story.
