CHAIRMAN'S CORNER - DENNIS E. NIXON
Dear friends,
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, it's a time to reflect on the past and look forward with hope and optimism. The turning of the calendar page offers a fresh start, a blank slate upon which we can write our dreams, aspirations, and goals.
The past year brought our community together for a common good. Our MD Anderson campaign was a great success thanks to everyone who contributed generously and participated in our events, selflessly giving their time and energy. We are proud to announce that with the help of our giving community, we raised $1.2 million and will be writing IBC Foundation's check to conclude the campaign. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As we start a new year, our IBC family embraces opportunity with open hearts and minds. There is a reason why we have been ranked #1 by S&P Global Marketing. It's because we value our customers and listen to their needs realizing every step forward, no matter how small, is progress we must all achieve together. We are here to support each other in our journey, celebrating success and offering our financial assistance and expertise in times of need.
As we move forward, let's carry with us the hope that the new year will bring brighter days. IBC believes in our ability to overcome obstacles and to create a future filled with joy, love, and fulfillment. The new year is a canvas waiting to be painted with the colors of our dreams and efforts.
Here's to a year of refocus, of growth and discovery, of laughter and love. May the new year bring you peace, prosperity, and the courage to chase your dreams and to Do More together.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Dennis E. Nixon
