EXELON GENERATION SPONSORS LOCAL 5K, GIVES THOUSANDS IN SUPPORT
PORT BYRON, IL - The Nick Teddy Foundation, in partnership with Nelson Chiropractic, is pleased to announce an additional sponsor of "Nick Teddy Fight Against Ewing's Sarcoma 5K."
Platinum Sponsor Exelon Generation is one of the largest employers in the Quad Cities area. It has provided the Nick Teddy Foundation with a significant financial contribution to help make the foundation's first 5k a success.

"The Strubs are a long time part of the Exelon Generation family," said Bill Stoermer, spokesperson from the Quad Cities Generating Station. "It's very important for us to help the Strub family honor the legacy of their son in his hometown."
"Exelon recognizes the importance of helping communities thrive, and the Nick Teddy Foundation's mission fits Exelon's outreach goals," Stoermer added.
