As is the case with most announcements of this type, it is with mixed emotions that we share the news that Sarah Morris has accepted a new position as the Ohio Grassroots Manager for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), effective November 28th.
For the past five years, Sarah has been a staff leader in our epic Hope Ride fundraiser, which veteran participants know makes her more than staff – it makes her family. We are delighted to see Sarah grow and advance professionally, but, of course, her experience, dedication, talent, and passion for the event and cause will be greatly missed.
Supported by our volunteer leadership team, we feel confident that POHR staff members Chris Bowles, Alyssa Hancock, and Olivia Lenhard will carry this event forward with great success this year and in years to come. While ACS is working to fill Sarah’s vacated position as Senior Development Manager, onboarding an outside candidate will take some time. You can still reach out to staff via the PanOhioInfo@cancer.org email address.
While Sarah will not be joining us as staff in 2023, she has excitedly registered as a one-day rider, so we can avoid tearful goodbyes knowing we will see her again in July. Additionally, we would encourage everyone to learn more about ACS CAN and get involved in the work they do to help cancer patients and their families, not just in Ohio but across the country. We know Sarah will shine in this new role, and together, we can help put an end to cancer as we know it, for everyone!
Congratulations, Sarah! We are so thankful for all you have done over the years to support our ride, fundraiser, and participants, and we wish you all the best in your new role!
