Chris Beck is not just a friend and colleague—he’s someone who has made a lasting impact on everyone around him. Over the decades, Chris has always been the first to offer support, lend a helping hand, and go out of his way to assist anyone in need. His kindness and generosity have touched countless lives, creating a ripple of positivity in our community and workplace.

Recently, Chris was diagnosed with SMARCB1-deficient sinonasal carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the nasal cavity and sinuses. This diagnosis has brought unexpected challenges for Chris and his family, including the need for specialized treatment at the Mayo Clinic. This will require frequent trips and extended stays in Rochester with lodging, food and other expenses for both him and his family. The emotional and financial strain is significant, and his loved ones are doing everything they can to support him through this difficult journey.

Now, it’s our turn to give back to Chris. By coming together, we can help ease the burden on his family and ensure they have the resources they need for travel, support, and care. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in Chris’s life. Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser—let’s show Chris how much his years of compassion and friendship mean to all of us.
