Project leader Swim to Fight Cancer Stichtse Vecht

Fight Cancer is looking for a local project leader in the Stichtse Vecht to continue the fundraising event Swim to Fight Cancer. Someone who wants to be the driving force behind an energetic team.

The event takes place in a local setting (past editions in the Vecht with the start and finish point at Boom & Bosch in Breukelen) where participants and teams collect as many donations as possible for Fight cancer. Fight Cancer is a foundation that raises funds for scientific cancer research and prevention through KWF Kankerbestrijding.

Swim to Fight Cancer Stichtse Vecht has already taken place three times; in 2018, 2019 and 2022. These three editions raised more than 1.1 million euros. It would be fantastic if a fourth edition could take place under your leadership. This board and the current core team have created a rock-solid blueprint with all previous editions and a large part of the core team is happy to participate in the organization again. The board and the project leader who were previously at the helm are happy to personally transfer the information for the next Swim.

Do you want to offer people dealing with cancer a platform to transform their powerlessness into strength? Would you like to experience how connection and solidarity can be the driving force of an event? Then we are looking for you! With your enthusiasm, drive and commitment you give something valuable back to society; you support all cancer patients who deal with this disease on a daily basis. In addition, you will also receive compensation for this role that is appropriate for this charity.

• Monitor participant recruitment in collaboration with the core team.
• Ultimately responsible for the entire process.

• You have a goodwill factor and enjoy using your network, knowledge and expertise for a higher common goal that affects everyone.
• You are motivated to work with a dream team to activate as many participants and business teams as possible for a Fight Cancer event and thereby raise money for cancer research and prevention.

What do we offer:

• A charity compensation based on a graduated scale related to the result.
• Lots of infectious passion and drive.
• A blueprint and script of previous editions.
• Expertise and commitment of core team members who were also active in previous editions.
• A platform to showcase your social involvement. Very valuable, and cannot be expressed in money.
