IBC Bank invites the community to “Give Cancer the Boot” at a dinner and dance on Tuesday, October 15,, at 7 p.m. at the IBC Bank Lago del Rio. The event features the live music of Ross & Friends.
“Give Cancer the Boot” is the final event of IBC’s 2019 fundraising campaign for the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Sponsorship levels range from $2,000 to $10,000 and include tables for 10, preferred seating, company logos on printed and digital materials and an IBC gift basket, based on level of sponsorship.
Individual tickets are available for $100. Every sponsorship or ticket purchase is tax deductible, and will be matched dollar for dollar by IBC Bank.
IBC Bank locations across Texas and Oklahoma have been hosting special events and fundraisers since May 10 to raise $1 million in donations from the community, friends, neighbors, and those who know the plight of cancer. Every dollar raised will be matched by IBC Bank in order to reach $2 million.
MD Anderson treats more than 140,000 patients from over 120 countries each year. The center oversees the largest clinical trials program in the nation, with more than 10,100 patients enrolled. Since 1944, more than 1.4 million patients have turned to MD Anderson for cancer care.
IBC Bank has been a proud supporter of MD Anderson for many years and encourages the communities it serves to become MD Anderson supporters.
MD Anderson Cancer Research Center has been among the trailblazers focused on studies to combat this deadly disease. One of its eminent researchers, Dr. Jim Allison, was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Medicine for launching an effective new way to attack cancer by treating the immune system rather than the tumor.
The community is encouraged to give generously at any of the 189 bank branches throughout Texas and Oklahoma or online at www.mdanderson/ibcbank.org. For every donation made at an IBC Bank branch, customers will be able to write a tribute to a loved one and display it at the branch.
