This post is way overdue. I personally apologize to Tom & Lori Davie and the whole Rockford Icehogs booster club for the delayed "Thank You" to you all. The Icehog booster club went into disalution a while back but before they closed shop they presented checks out to local non profit organizations. One of the organizations the Rockford IceHogs booster club gave a check to was Brovember. Thank you for the $750 check.
The Icehog booster club has helped out so many organizations through out the years! It was hard to see such a hard working organization leave us and we thank you all for dedication and support in our community.

A research review into molecular insights of a licorice-derived substance called glycyrrhizin for preventing or treating cancer conducted by Dr. Munirathinam and student researchers suggests further research could lead to specific agents for clinical use. The journal Pharmacological Research recently published the study titled “Oncopreventive and oncotherapeutic potential of licorice triterpenoid compound glycyrrhizin and its derivatives: Molecular insights.”
