QRC Valves Fights DIPG

QRC Valves is honored to support Aubreigh’s Army in the fight against Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive form of childhood brain cancer. As part of our commitment to making a difference in the community, we are proud to sponsor the 2nd Annual Lemon Face Gala in Mobile, AL. This important event raises awareness and funds to support research, treatment advancements, and affected families.

What is DIPG?

Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects children between the ages of 5 and 10. It develops in the pons, a critical area of the brainstem that controls essential functions like breathing, movement, and heartbeat. DIPG is particularly devastating because:

• It is inoperable due to its location in the brainstem.
• It has no known cure, with current treatments offering only temporary relief.
• Survival rates are extremely low, with most children surviving less than a year after diagnosis.

Despite the challenges, organizations like Aubreigh’s Army are working tirelessly to fund research and provide support for families affected by DIPG.

The Lemon Face Gala: Raising Awareness and Funds

The Lemon Face Gala is an annual fundraising event dedicated to honoring children fighting DIPG and raising critical funds for research and treatment initiatives. The gala includes:

• Inspirational Stories – Families share their experiences and the impact of DIPG.
• Live and Silent Auctions – Proceeds go directly toward research and support programs.
• Community Involvement – Bringing together businesses, families, and medical professionals.

By sponsoring this event, QRC Valves fights to bring hope, awareness, and resources to those affected by DIPG.

QRC Valves: Committed to Giving Back

At QRC Valves, we believe in using our platform to make a meaningful impact beyond the industrial sector. Our support for Aubreigh’s Army and the Lemon Face Gala reflects our dedication to corporate social responsibility and community engagement.

Together, we can work toward a future where DIPG is no longer a life-threatening diagnosis.
