Jim Bruner ’66 has a vision for Illinois College.   After 313 people accepted his Bruner Alumni Challenge during the last couple months of the last fiscal year, he offered to graciously extend his challenge by matching your IC Fund gift up to $25 during the current fiscal year. Jim understands that each gift to the IC Fund, our annual fund, benefits our campus community as soon as it is received. IC Fund gifts support each and every student, faculty and staff member on the Hilltop and have an immediate impact on the Illinois College community. These unrestricted gifts enable the College to respond to its most urgent needs such as increasing student scholarships, updating technology, supporting departmental initiatives and renovating historic campus buildings.  Jim’s generosity has played a key role in providing critical operating support, enhancing athletic programs, and most visibly, providing the primary funding for the Bruner Fitness and Recreation Center. Partner with Jim – one of our most distinguished supporters and a true visionary – to realize our founding vision: to prepare our students for lives of leadership and service as we strive to become one of the top 100 liberal arts colleges in the nation.
