Make a difference

As the nation observes the 12th anniversary of the Virginia Tech School Shootings, local volunteers choose to use the occasion to honor one of its victims who had ties to Champaign-Urbana. The entire community is invited to participate in the eleventh annual Austin Cloyd Day of Service on April 6th, 2019 from 9:30am-3:30pm

Austin's mother, Renee Cloyd shared that, "Of all the tributes and memorials created in memory of the Virginia Tech students, none is more significant that this one where members of the community pay tribute by serving others."

Champaign Rotary and Centennial Interact are organizing this 12th annual event. Austin Cloyd was a member of Centennial Interact when she lived in Champaign where she epitomized the Rotary motto of "service above self" in the way she lived her everyday life. The service day will be a fitting representation of the good that can come out of such a tragic event.
