Faculty and Staff,

UIS Athletics is collecting snack items for Compass for Kids, a not-for-profit organization that is transforming the Springfield community. Through innovative after-school and summer programs, Compass for Kids provides critical resources and support to underserved children in Springfield Public Schools (District 186).

Compass for Kids will be our community partner for Youth Day at Saturday's home basketball games. We invite you to drop off non-perishable snack items at the UIS Athletics offices (upstairs at TRAC) this Friday, ahead of the games. Your donations will directly support these students, and we truly appreciate your generosity.

Be sure to also join us on Saturday at 1 & 3 PM for a day of rivalry basketball as we take on Quincy! Let’s pack the stands and show our Prairie Star pride.

Thank you for making a difference!

Libby Price

Assistant Athletic Director for Strategic Communications & Operations
