DONATE

Norman Todd is hoping to play a role in helping future patients discover his same quality of life by taking part in a Foundation-funded clinical trial. “I appreciate all that the people who went before me did to help develop new treatments, and I want to do what I can to help someone else in the future.” Continue Reading

When Calvin Pettitt found himself out of breath after climbing the stairs, he bought some workout clothes and shoes, and then started walking. The weight started dropping fast—too fast. It was kidney cancer. “My grandfather and my mom both died of cancer. I thought it was a death sentence.” With God, his extended family and the team at Illinois CancerCare by his side, Calvin proved it’s not. He had his kidney removed, joined a clinical trial and now feels good enough to start taking laps around the track once more. Continue Reading

Donor Recognition

Donor Recognition Wall

Donors are very important to the Illinois CancerCare Foundation.  They help us to believe that anything is possible through teamwork, remind us that compassion is always necessary, and give us hope for a brighter future. Their thoughtfulness and generosity demonstrates that we are in this fight together and allows us to impact the lives of cancer patients and their families throughout central Illinois.

At all levels of support, contributors to the Illinois CancerCare Foundation are leaders in advancing clinical cancer research, education and awareness for the benefit of cancer patients and their families throughout central Illinois. We are forever grateful to our growing constituency for their charitable gifts which enable us to give patients every possible weapon in their battle against cancer through nationally recognized clinical research, education and awareness, and support and assistance programs.

To express our appreciation, the Foundation has established a permanent donor recognition wall to more formally honor individuals, businesses and organizations for their outstanding philanthropy. This wall can be found in the lobby of Illinois CancerCare’s Peoria clinic.  We update the wall annually and giving levels (based upon cumulative giving) on the wall.

Cumulative giving categories are as follows:

Cumulative Giving Level Cumulative Giving Category
$500-$999 Believe
$1,000-$2,499 Compassion
$2,500-$4,999 Hope
$5,000-$9,999 Pave
$10,000-$24,999 Impact
$25,000-$49,999 Fight
$50,000 and above Cure

This Honor Roll reflects cumulative giving during calendar year 2016.
