Parents of children with cancer founded the Badger Childhood Cancer Network more than 30 years ago. It was originally known as Capital Candlelighters and served as a regional support group for families of kids treated for cancer in Madison. Anne Spurgeon and David Woods (both pictured) were integral in forming the group in order to help other children and families find their footing immediately after diagnosis and beyond.

In the late 1990s, the parents decided they wanted to do more to help newly diagnosed children and their families. Over the past 15 years, Badger Childhood Cancer Network has expanded the programs and services offered in order to meet the expressed needs of families whose children are on treatment for cancer and life-threatening blood disorders at American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison. In an effort to better reflect the individuals served, the board of directors voted in late 2010, to change the group’s name to Badger Childhood Cancer Network.

PROCEEDS BENEFIT KISSES FROM KEEGAN AND FRIENDS, A PEDIATRIC CANCER FOUNDATION

Our community was very fortunate to have WGEM and the Quincy Herald-Whig host our city’s fireworks display for several years. When those organizations could no longer host, the Quincy Tea Party stepped in to temporarily fill that void. They hosted the 2020 event, considerate of safety guidance during the pandemic, so that our citizens could still enjoy their Independence Day celebration.

In 2021, a group of citizen volunteers stepped up to form a new organization to provide the community with a street fair and fireworks show that everyone could enjoy. Thus, the Quincy Freedom Fest organization was born. With a mission to educate the public on both the history of our nation and its beginnings, our citizens enjoy 2 fun filled days of celebration and learning. All proceeds from the festival go back into the event for the following year. The partnerships and support from the community ensure a bigger and better celebration for Quincy and the surrounding area every year!
