Northern Illinois Food Bank
In the month of December 2020, the Patrick Dealer Group participated in a fundraising event for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. The Food Bank has been responding
to the increased need in our communities since mid-March. In June through September, they have provided 9M meals monthly, an increase of 3M meals per month from last year at this time. Our goal was $4,000 but our continuous fundraising during the month of December has brought in $6,100 in donations to benefit our communities. That's 152% of our goal reached.
How Our Donations Helped Make an Impact:
- Every $1 donated helps provide $8 worth of groceries for neighbors in need
- 96% of the Food Bank's resources go to programs that feed neighbors in need
- The Food Bank services 13 counties in Northern Illinois, providing the equivalent of nearly 220,000 meals each day
- Jewel-Osco has committed to a matching challenge gift of $1 MILLION to Northern Illinois Food Bank - dollar for dollar - for the holiday season.
- Once we achieved our $4,000 goal, the Dawson Family of Patrick Dealer Group donated another $2,000!
On October 31, 2020, the Patrick Dealer Group hosted our 1st Annual Trunk-R-Treat Trail. Our goal was to help bring some fun and exciting alternatives to Halloween this year, amidst the pandemic. Our marketing department decorated a special vehicle at each dealership and loaded it with candy for the youngsters to enjoy.  |  |

The Thyroid, Head & Neck Cancer Foundation (THANC)
The Thyroid, Head & Neck Cancer Foundation's (THANC) mission is to support the research and education in the early detection and treatment of thyroid, head and neck cancer, to advancing new therapies, and to alleviating the suffering and functional impairment of patients who undergo treatment. The THANC Foundation was incorporated in 2003 and quickly became the largest private funder of research in the United States for these types of cancers.
In 2009, THANC became the first U.S. member of the global Head and Neck Research Network (HNRN) and refocused research funding internally on collaborative initiatives as a member of this organization.
In addition to research, THANC funded continuing professional medical education through sponsorship of the Multidisciplinary Management of Head and Neck Cancer and Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease until 2011, when the 20th Annual Course was held. The Foundation supports the Head & Neck Oncologic and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery, and Thyroid/Parathyroid Surgery Fellowship, a program accredited by the American Head and Neck Society.
THANC's resources also focus on community awareness and education as well as patient outreach and support initiatives. Under the medical direction of Dr. Mark Urken, THANC is housed within the Institute for Head and Neck and Thyroid Cancer at the Phillips Ambulatory Care Center at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center.
