ALTON - Alton Memorial Health Services Foundation helps support patients with cancer by removing barriers to treatment, including financial hardships. The Foundation’s upcoming fundraiser, Ribbons of Strength, brings together members of the community who have connections to cancer.

March 26 has witnessed a multitude of significant events throughout history, spanning various fields such as politics, technology, culture, and social movements. First and foremost, we look back to 1979, a pivotal year in the realm of international relations. On March 26, President Jimmy Carter and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty. This landmark agreement marked the first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab nation, significantly altering the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. The treaty was a result of the Camp David Accords, where both leaders, with the mediation of U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, negotiated terms that would eventually lead to diplomatic relations between the two countries. The agreement resulted in Israel agreeing to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula, which they had occupied since the 1967 Six-Day War, in return for Egypt's recognition of Israel's right to exist as a sovereign state.
