Today, CUSchools Foundation was proud to be part of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 2026 Campus Charitable Fund Drive Agency Fair at the Illini Union! 💙🧡

We had a great time connecting with University of Illinois faculty and staff, sharing more about the work of the CUSchools Foundation, and talking about the many ways our community can support local students and schools.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, learn more about CUSF, and support the organizations that matter to you!!

We’re excited to highlight our newest Adopt-A-School partnership with Illini Way Student-Athlete Development and Robeson Elementary!

This week, U of I student-athletes from @illinitrackxc and @illiniwgym  teams visited Robeson with classroom supplies and special Illini goodies for staff and students.

Student-athletes visited classrooms to deliver supplies and encouragement to the school community. The visit also helped make Robeson’s Thankful Thursday extra special. Every Thursday, the Robeson Staff Happiness Committee provides a snack, treat, or small surprise for staff members. This week, the Thankful Thursday cart was generously sponsored through the  Illini Way Student-Athlete Development and CUSchools Foundation Adopt-A-School partnership. 🧡💙

We’re excited to see all the ways this new connection will continue to support the students and staff at Robeson!

We got a  special surprise at the CU Schools Foundation office yesterday!

We were thrilled to see the LEGENDARY Kelly Hill back at the CUSF office for a visit! It’s always a joy to see someone who made such a big impact on CUSF and the community as a whole.

Thanks for the visit, Kelly!
Yesterday, senior art students spent the day exploring @kamillinois through the KAM–BAM Sr. program .

Thanks to a CUSF Attach Grant, students from Urbana , Centennial, and Central High Schools spent the day at Krannert Art Museum exploring exhibits, hearing from artists, and sketching artwork. Their creativity was on full display as they engaged with professional art in a hands‑on, meaningful way.

Programs like this remind us how powerful arts education can be when students are given access, opportunity, and inspiration. 🎨✨. 🎨✨

KAM-BAM Sr. Exhibit

Installation: 11/2 from 12–3

Show Dates: 11/3–12/12
