We will have our 2nd Annual canned food drive for the Wisconsin game, November 22.

Last year, we donated 100 pounds of food.  Thanks to all who donated and we hope to surpass that this year. 

Once again, we'd like to thank you for coming to our 2024-2025 events and hope to see you again for 2025-2026. Had a great crowd for March Madness and look forward to the Illini making another deep run in 2026!

Let's have a great year!  I-L-L!
