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.
The MD Anderson Cancer Center is among the world's most respected cancer centers devoted exclusively to patient care, research, education, and prevention. Since 1944, more than two million patients have turned to the MD Anderson Cancer Center for cancer care and in 2023, the center provided more than $319 million in uncompensated care to underinsured and uninsured patients.
We must continue to "Do More" by giving back to our communities and worthy organizations like the MD Anderson Cancer Center. IBC has supported the MD Anderson Cancer Center for many years, and we are delighted to ask you to join us and become an MD Anderson Cancer Center supporter too. I encourage each of you to give generously. Together, we can help put an end to cancer. As a commitment to the cause, the IBC Foundation will match your donation dollar-for-dollar.
Please join me in contributing to cancer research. We can make a difference in the lives of those touched by this disease, and more importantly, help many survive. Please complete the attached form with your contribution to our fundraising campaign or log in to our MD Anderson Cancer Center donor webpage at MDAnderson.org/IBCBank. Together, we can Give Cancer the Boot!
Sincerely,
Dennis E. Nixon
IBC President and Chief Executive Officer
MD Anderson Cancer Center, Senior Member of the Board of Visitors
