Volunteering: Co-founder, “Healing with Basketball,” George Washington University Cancer Institute, Office of Survivorship, 2007-2012. This multi-year program was designed and delivered by Lynn Grodzki and Andrew Weiss to encourage emotional support and physical exercise for breast cancer survivors. The popular program, sponsored by GWUCI ,was free for inner city women in Washington, D.C, with a social worker and a personal trainer on site to lead the monthly clinics. Women survivors learned a set of carefully modified basketballs drills and skills, specifically designed to provide a sense of stretching unused muscles and fostering a sense of play and body confidence. The program was mentioned in the Washington Post and supported by the Washington DC Mystics Basketball Team as well as promoted by other basketball teams and organizations. Lynn Grodzki received the Mighty Oak Community Award from the Fashion for the Cure Foundation for her program (2012.)
