Want to help create joy where it's really needed?
Do you believe that joy matters and want to be part of something good? Been through your own hard chapter and want to help others find their way through too? Here's how you can help.
Volunteer your time or skills
Energy, expertise, enthusiasm and belief in what we're building... that's what powers the ADY Life Center. (OK, dance breaks are involved too.)
Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, we'd love to have you on board so we can serve as many Thrivers as possible.
We'd love your help if any of these things are your jam:
- Thriver Parade logistics and coordination
- Speaking at or facilitating a Joy Lab
- Leading or co-leading a Joy Club within a Thriver Krewe
- Starting and running a WhatsApp-based Thriver Krewe in your area
- Photography and videography at events
- Marketing, social media and content creation
- Grant writing and fundraising support
- General event volunteering
Thank you!

Make a donation
We never want to turn anyone away from our programs for inability to pay. Your generosity makes that possible.
The ADY Life Center is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every donation goes directly toward programming, scholarships and community building for people navigating life's hardest chapters.
Support our work
Your donation will help fund the ADY Life Center's new model of joyful, evidence-based community support for people dealing with cancer, individuals living with chronic illness, caregivers, and older adults navigating life transitions.
As a Founding Thriver, your early support helps us:
- Produce our first Thriver Parades
- Launch monthly community Joy Clubs
- Offer gifted tickets so no one is turned away
- Develop free educational wellness resources
Sponsor a Thriver Parade ticket
Help ensure all Thrivers who want to attend this year's parade can be there.
By buying a ticket for someone else, you'll cover someone who might otherwise miss out on celebration because of cost. And you'll delight someone who's been through a lot.
Want to sponsor a ticket AND attend yourself? You can also add a Pay It Forward contribution when you check out for your own ticket.
Thank you so much for your support. 💙
