Locally-owned Celltech Electronics made donations totaling $3100 Friday, November 18, 2022, via checks for $1550.00 each to QMG Foundation Oncology Patient Assistance Fund and to the Blessing Breast Center. The donation checks were presented as the conclusion of Celltech’s October 2022 CARES campaign, anchored around a custom-designed tee whose graphic featured the traditional breast cancer pink awareness ribbon incorporated into the word HOPE. The tee was produced by locally-owned Landmarx and available at all Celltech locations for $20. “We decided to offer this tee as a way for those impacted by breast cancer to have a way to express Hope,” says Celltech owner Katrina Wellman. Celltech generously underwrote the cost, so every dollar from these tees could directly benefit local breast cancer patients. “We are excited that our communities supported with us in making this first time campaign a success, teaming together to assist local breast cancer patients.” explains Wellman. In addition to the tees, Celltech featured a special 2022 collection of Breast Cancer Pink Accessories; 20% of the profit from the sale of which was included the donations. Celltech operates two stores Quincy, plus stores in Canton (Mo), Jerseyville (IL), Pittsfield (IL), and Rushville (IL).
