CHAMPAIGN-URBANA, ILLINOIS

Family members will have a unique way to support their favorite runner on the race route this year and help the Eastern Illinois Foodbank (EIF). Through the generosity of UpClose Printing, EIF will have Official Cheer Signs available at their booth at the health & fitness expo.

Make a donation of any size at the EIF booth and you’ll receive a Cheer Sign to decorate. We’ll even have table near their expo booth where you’ll find drawing materials (crayons, markers, and so on). The Eastern Illinois Foodbank works with more than 200 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other emergency feeding programs in 17 Illinois counties and distributed over 7.5 million pounds of food (1.5 million of which was fresh produce) in 2015.
