CHAIRMAN'S CORNER - DENNIS E. NIXON

Dear Friends,

IBC has launched its 2024 fundraising campaign to raise money to support cancer research at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. I enthusiastically encourage you to participate in this especially important campaign running from April 25 to October 1, 2024.

Cancer has affected us all, whether personally or through a family member, friend, co-worker, or resident of our community. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2024, almost 148,000 Texans will receive a cancer diagnosis, and more than 44,000 will die from the disease. We can help reduce those statistics by supporting cancer research.
