QMG Foundation Cancer Crush Achieves Milestone of Raising Over $100K: A Beacon of Hope for Local Patients

QUIN­CY, IL – In a remark­able dis­play of uni­ty and deter­mi­na­tion, the Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) Foun­da­tion Can­cer Crush, held on April 5, has reached a mon­u­men­tal mile­stone, rais­ing over $100,000 toward assist­ing local can­cer patients with basic liv­ing expens­es. This achieve­ment is not mere­ly a finan­cial feat — it sym­bol­izes a bea­con of hope for count­less local patients and fam­i­lies whose lives have been touched by the bur­dens of this relent­less disease.

Can­cer, a word that car­ries immense weight and sig­nif­i­cance, is an adver­sary that knows no bounds. It does not dis­crim­i­nate based on age, race, or socioe­co­nom­ic sta­tus, affect­ing indi­vid­u­als from all walks of life. Behind every sta­tis­tic lies a deeply per­son­al jour­ney, filled with chal­lenges, resilience, and unwa­ver­ing determination.

For those fac­ing the daunt­ing real­i­ty of a can­cer diag­no­sis, each dol­lar raised through events like Can­cer Crush rep­re­sents a life­line of sup­port and pos­si­bil­i­ty. From assist­ing with rent/​mortgage, util­i­ties, and trans­porta­tion, the QMG Foun­da­tion can have a tan­gi­ble impact on the lives of patients and their loved ones.

“We are immense­ly grate­ful to announce this mile­stone and our com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing com­pre­hen­sive sup­port to local patients, ensur­ing they receive the finan­cial assis­tance they need dur­ing the nav­i­ga­tion of their can­cer jour­ney,” said Mor­gan Park­er, direc­tor of com­mu­ni­ty rela­tions at QMG. ​“Every dol­lar raised allows us to finan­cial­ly sup­port local patients with basic liv­ing expens­es, and ulti­mate­ly, offer­ing hope to those in our com­mu­ni­ty fight­ing this dis­ease. The sig­nif­i­cance of this achieve­ment extends far beyond mere num­bers; it embod­ies the col­lec­tive spir­it of com­pas­sion, sol­i­dar­i­ty, and deter­mi­na­tion that defines our com­mu­ni­ty. It is a tes­ta­ment to the pow­er of indi­vid­u­als com­ing togeth­er to make a dif­fer­ence, one dona­tion at a time.”

Park­er also not­ed that the words of a sin­cere ​“thank you” do not seem ade­quate to share with every busi­ness, spon­sor, donor, and attendee who made this possible.

“It’s because of all of you we cel­e­brate this mile­stone! So let’s also reaf­firm our com­mit­ment to sup­port­ing those affect­ed by can­cer and that our fund­ing and care will extend through­out the year, not just around our Can­cer Crush fundrais­er,” she added.
