She also volunteered for the renowned National Jewish Research Center, in Denver, Colorado, for children with asthma and allergies. Once diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, Janice dedicated her time volunteering for SHARE, a non-profit organization that supports women with metastatic breast cancer.
