Marcia White is a volunteer for CURE International. She first started volunteering with CURE in 2019 in the Grants department and has become a highly valued member of the team.

CURE receptionist Heidi Davis said, “Marica has been a gem! During the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcia continued to volunteer from home.  Marcia clocked 784.25 hours in the 2020 year alone!  Marcia is being recognized with the prestigious Presidential Volunteer Service Award, the gold medal for her hours completed in the year 2020.”

Marcia used her talents to aid the Grants team in preparing and researching for proposals. Josh Korn, CURE Director of Grants, Acquisitions, and Management, said, “Marcia’s professional experience as a healthcare practitioner, as well as her academic background in global health, and her passion for serving the underprivileged and sharing God’s love make her ideally suited to contribute to CURE’s mission. As a volunteer, she has been instrumental in helping the grants team as we prepare proposals and reports to donors, especially through her research on topics such as disability access/inclusion, global surgery, and community-based rehabilitation. We are very thankful for Marcia’s tireless efforts and grateful to have her on our team!”
