NORMAL, Ill. – On Thursday, February 25, the Illinois State Athletics Department along with the entire Illinois State University community will take part in the third-annual Birds Give Back: 1 Day for Change. Through the University-wide day of philanthropy, alumni, faculty/staff, students, parents, friends, and the community are encouraged to donate funds to support their areas of interest at Illinois State.
This year, Illinois State Athletics has set a goal of $60,000 and 300 gifts to help raise funds for investments into student-athlete sport performance and strength and conditioning. Gifts to the project will go towards modernizing the weight rooms, upgrading analytic tools for tracking athletes, and be used to purchase state-of-the-art performance monitoring tools.
