How to get yours

We’re excited to introduce something totally new to our WIXY Honor Fund supporters. We’ve created limited edition challenge coins! The only way you can get one of these exclusive challenge coins is to donate $100 or more to the Honor Fund, in person, at the station or at a live event.

If you collect challenge coins, then you can add it to your collection, or you can pass it along. Giving a challenge coin is a great way to show respect to an active duty service member, veteran, or first responder and thank them for their service.

As always with the WIXY Honor Fund, every tax-deductible donation you make stays in Central Illinois, benefiting local veterans, service members, and first responders.

You can only get your Honor Fund challenge coin at the station, at 2603 West Bradley Avenue in Champaign, Monday through Friday, between 8am and 4pm.

The WIXY Honor Fund is proudly supported by Culver’s of Champaign, Urbana, & Danville, BlueSky Restoration, and Tatman’s Towing.

Without their support and yours, we couldn’t do the great work we have planned for 2022, including furnishing new Honor Guard uniforms, supporting the 100 Club of Illinois, assisting with the cost of training service dogs, and more!
