Support Our Charities

The Quad-City Times Bix 7 supports these great charities. Please consider making a donation to help one of these great causes.  http://haku.ly/82e31c72

FAMILY CONNECTS: We believe in a strong start for all families. Your charitable donation to Family Connects gives parents with new babies access to specially trained nurses at no charge, so parents and children get a great beginning in life. 

BREAST HEALTH: We recognize the important of breast health through two initiatives which remove financial barriers so that women and men can access mammograms and detect breast cancer early. Lindsay’s Legacy goes a step further, helping individuals across the nation get expert diagnoses and treatment specific to Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
