Since 2013, the Illini Veterans have hosted the Illini Veterans Memorial 5K. The 5K allows us to honor those that have given their lives for our country, while raising awareness and support for a cause serving veterans. The Illini Veterans have chosen to donate the proceeds of every 5K to date to the Center for Wounded Veterans in Higher Education on the UIUC campus. The money we have raised has gone towards programs and equipment for student veterans.
