Paul Bailey

Performance Foodservice – Twin Cities

I chose to serve as a Co-Chair for the American Cancer Society’s Taste of Hope Twin Cities because this mission is deeply personal to me. As a cancer survivor, having faced my own cancer journey 10 years ago, and someone who lost my mother to cancer at a young age, I understand firsthand the profound impact this disease has on individuals and families. Cancer touches nearly everyone’s life in some way, and I believe it is incredibly important to support those navigating their own journey. Being part of Taste of Hope allows me to help raise awareness, inspire hope, and contribute to the resources and support that make a difference for patients, survivors, and their loved ones.

Strong Tower Wealth

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside families during some of life’s greatest joys and most difficult challenges. Far too many of those challenges have involved cancer. I’ve seen the emotional, physical, and financial toll it takes, and I’ve also witnessed the incredible courage, hope, and resilience of those fighting it. I’m honored to serve as a Co-Executive Chair for Taste of Hope because I believe we can make a meaningful difference by supporting the American Cancer Society’s mission to improve lives today while working toward a future without cancer.
