Congratulations to Team Illinois, this year's Giving Cup Champion!⁠ ⁠ Over the last 14 days, you rallied your friends, shared, made donations, challenged one another, and showed incredible pride for our community.⁠ ⁠ And in the process, you raised an astonishing $81,835 for the Bonus Fund, including nearly $20,000 in the final day alone.⁠ ⁠ Final Team Standings⁠ 🏆 Team Illinois: $44,000⁠ 🏆 Team Iowa: $37,030⁠ ⁠ But the truth is, this was never really about Illinois versus Iowa.⁠ ⁠ It was about proving what's possible when people come together for something bigger than themselves.⁠ ⁠ Every dollar raised will help increase support for local nonprofits that are changing lives, solving problems, and strengthening our communities every single day. That's something every donor, advocate, and supporter should be proud of.⁠ ⁠ #GivingCup #TeamIllinois #TeamIowa #BirdiesforCharity⁠
