On Wednesday, July 13, staff from across City departments supported WCIA’s Victory Over Violence Spotlight on Solutions event at Hedge Pop Park in Champaign. Community members gathered to enjoy music, games, and food provided by local vendors. $300,000 was donated to United Way of Champaign County to be put back into the community through both immediate and long-term solutions to solving violent crime. The donation is comprised of $50,000 donations from the University of Illinois, Busey Bank, Christie Clinic, Carle Health, OSF Healthcare and the United Way of Champaign County.
