  Though this does not have to do with us here at the QRS we would like it if all of our friends out there could please help to support the West Chester Fire Department in their fight against cancer! Firefighter Jimmy Graham who is a long time active member of the Good Will Fire Company of West Chester was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. So the Good Will is hosting a beef and beer to try and raise money for his treatments. We are not sure as of now what stage the cancer is but no matter how bad he is obviously going to be having a lot of emotional and financial trouble. If anyone would be able to come and support the cause it will be febuary 18th at 6 pm at the Good Will. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. There will be food, beer, music, and raffles. If anyone would like a ticket email jimgrahamfund@gmail.com or go to goodwillfireco.org. Please come out for a good time to help a local guy who has been helping everyone else for 24 years.
