Help us raise money

For participating in Christie Clinic Illinois Race Weekend 2026

Our story…

It is that time of year again! It is the 13th Annual Sousaphone 5k where the Marching Illini Sousaphones run the Christie Clinic 5k with our Sousaphones on in support of Crisis Nursery.

Crisis Nursery is an emergency-based childcare facility offering 24/7/365 services for families in crisis in order to prevent child abuse and neglect. They have served the entire Champaign-Urbana community since 1983 with no fees or income requirements. Let’s help give back to this incredible organization so they can continue to do their amazing work.
