Team Wenes campaigns are more than fundraisers — they’re movements of memory, love, action, and youth leadership. Every season brings a new way to raise awareness and hope. Here’s what we’ve been building…
Campaign 1: Have a heart, do your part. (Valentine’s)
Valentine’s Campaign
Every February, we honor the people we’ve lost and the people we fight for. We package red velvet cookies and deliver them with hand-written notes and love. 100% of proceeds go to cancer research.
Led by Sunny Cormier-Wener

“Kids leading kids.”
We’re building a national youth movement. Through our ambassador program, students run cookie drives, organize remembrance boards, and host mini-campaigns at their schools.
