Tickets on Sale for QMG Foundation Cancer Crush

Behind every can­cer diag­no­sis is a per­son — a neigh­bor, a friend, a fam­i­ly mem­ber — whose world has been turned upside down. In moments like these, com­mu­ni­ty mat­ters most. That’s the heart of the Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) Foundation’s Can­cer Crush event, where every tick­et pur­chased and every dol­lar raised helps ease the finan­cial bur­den for local fam­i­lies nav­i­gat­ing cancer.

Tick­ets are now on sale for this year’s Can­cer Crush, tak­ing place Fri­day, April 3, at The Ambiance in Quin­cy. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. All pro­ceeds direct­ly ben­e­fit local can­cer patients by help­ing cov­er every­day expens­es such as hous­ing, util­i­ties, and trans­porta­tion, allow­ing them to focus on their health and recovery.

“There is some­thing tru­ly spe­cial about the way this com­mu­ni­ty shows up for one anoth­er,” said Mor­gan Park­er, QMG’s Direc­tor of Com­mu­ni­ty Rela­tions and Foun­da­tion. ​“When we gath­er for Can­cer Crush, we’re not just rais­ing funds, we’re sur­round­ing local fam­i­lies with sup­port and encour­age­ment when they need it most. As we approach the $1 mil­lion mile­stone, it’s a pow­er­ful reminder of what’s pos­si­ble when a com­mu­ni­ty comes together.”

The evening will fea­ture food, games, live music, and both silent and live auc­tions, cre­at­ing a fun and mean­ing­ful night for every­one in attendance.

A high­light of the event is the Coun­try Adven­ture Raf­fle, which includes a two-night stay at an Airbnb con­do in down­town Nashville, four tick­ets to CMA Fest on Sat­ur­day, June 6, a $100 gift card to Boyer’s Boot N Shoe, two pairs of Ari­at® boots and one pair of Duran­go® boots cour­tesy of Boyer’s Boot N Shoe, and one bot­tle of Near­est Green Ten­nessee Whiskey.

Now in its 12^th year, Can­cer Crush is approach­ing a remark­able mile­stone — near­ly $1 mil­lion raised to direct­ly sup­port can­cer patients in our com­mu­ni­ty. To date, the event has gen­er­at­ed $888,400 to help cov­er every­day expens­es such as hous­ing, util­i­ties, and trans­porta­tion, allow­ing patients to focus on their health and recovery.

Buzz Off Can­cer has been part of Can­cer Crush since 2018, bring­ing togeth­er par­tic­i­pants — known as ​“buzzees” — who shave their heads in sol­i­dar­i­ty with those fac­ing can­cer. This year, the event will also fea­ture Hair for a Cause, where com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers can donate their hair to be made into wigs for can­cer patients. Par­tic­i­pants include Andrew Hogan, Sum­mer Goings, Wash­ing­ton and Jared Tip­ton, and Kiana Reed.
