EG Group’s partnership with the American Cancer Society has helped keep cancer patients connected to vital support and answers at an unprecedented and isolating time. “This outcome not only shows the value of partnerships, but our steadfast commitment to fighting cancer during trying times. We may be facing unprecedented times, but cancer doesn’t quit and neither will we. Now, more than ever, patients need our support and we applaud the EG Group for stepping up to the plate,” said Wayne White, EVP at the American Cancer Society. “This fundraising effort could not have been accomplished without our dedicated team members and loyal guests,” said EG America President George Fournier. “We thank our guests for their incredible generosity in helping raise over a quarter million dollars for such an important cause.” For more information about the American Cancer Society, please visit www.cancer.org.
