ILLINI FOR CHARITABLE OPPORTUNITIES AND NETWORKING

Additionally, ICON infuses meaningful life and entrepreneurial skills to positively impact the lives of Illini student-athletes long after their time at the University of Illinois.
THE ICON BUSINESS COALITION IS A PATHWAY FOR BUSINESSES OF ALL SIZES, INDUSTRIES AND REGIONS TO DIRECTLY IMPACT THE FUTURE OF FIGHTING ILLINI ATHLETICS

OUR IMPACT
"Partnering with ICON to provide opportunities for Stephens Family YMCA youth to interact with the student-athletes has been incredible. While stars on the court or on the field, the athletes are humble and outstanding with our kids.
The interactions whether it be playing a game of knock-out, singing karaoke, helping with homework, reading a book, or simply hanging out are interactions these kids will never forget. Lifetime memories are certainly being made. The student-athletes are a positive influence, something every kid could use more of. The difference the student-athletes are making in the lives of our young adults is immeasurable."
