“There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up”
Recognizing our Donors, who are true “Quality Champions”!
Our donors have a passion to leave the world as a better place than the way they found it. Our donors have the ability to do that now, and can see the impact of their work unfold before their eyes. By supporting the journey of those coming behind them, they are able to help shape the marvelous possibilities for the future for the patients who are counting on innovation, quality, reliability and…cures.
Thank you!
Quality Champions for Life, our Board of Directors and Staff would like to recognize the generosity of our donors. You make our work possible, and you give hope to our students. Students all over the world find the next phase of their lives to be daunting, while we give them hope and arm them with the skills they need.
“Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance”
We often hear: “My first job is going to be what I do for the rest of my life. What if I don’t like it?” We help them understand how a career journey works, and help align that journey with their passion.
Students have said: “I thought I wanted to go to medical school, but now I know I don’t. What can I do?” We show them the plethera of careers in the life science industries that put them in touch with improving patient lives all over the world.
It is commonly asked: “What is quality?” We teach the magic of quality, and how it brings order, consistency, reliability and peace of mind to all whom we serve. Our students graduate from our program, ignited as the Quality Champions they are!
