IGS is proud to announce we exceeded our fundraising goal for the Chicago St. Jude Run/Walk To End Childhood Cancer, raising $5,790!
The event, which was held September 21 during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, overall raised more than $455,000!
Team IGS stood out from the crowd with our signature lime green t-shirts during the event. The rain mostly held out as some ran and some walked the 5K held at Soldier Field.
St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate for childhood cancer from less than 20% to 80% today. Donations made to St. Jude ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.
We sincerely appreciate all those who contributed to our fundraising efforts!
2019 is off to a record breaking start, but new law changes could mean even more profits
So far in 2019, there have been 1,344 active video gaming machines played in La Salle, Bureau and Putnam counties. By the end of the year, that number has the potential to increase significantly due to recent changes in the legislation surrounding video gambling in Illinois.
When the new gaming bill passed through the Illinois Legislature in June, it implemented sports betting and expanded the casino market.
But there were also a few changes to current video gaming laws.
