They’ve had two years of inductions to their new hall of fame, and now the Greater Illiana Sports Foundation is having a bags tournament, run by B & D’s Cornhole, this Saturday, August 12th, at American Legion Post 210. Just stop by at 201 Prospect Place along Jackson Street at 12 Noon to register; competition begins at 1 PM. The foundation’s Jim Sheppard says the vision here is to offer even more scholarships to students in the Eastern Illinois and Western Indiana area, and they’ve only just begun.
AUDIO: We are a new foundation; it’s for a great cause. The cause is to raise money to give to a group of high schools, and they have to be a student-athlete. And we want to make that scholarship pot bigger; so we can offer more scholarships, and more money to those winning the scholarships.
