Holiday Support
The USO of Illinois, with generous support from Constellation Brands and the Richard A. Perritt Charitable Foundation, brought holiday cheer to the military community through Unit Holiday Party Support and Military Family Holiday Support programs. The program sent a monetary contribution to more than 80 unit parties located throughout the state, that served more than 14,500 service members and their dependents. In addition, through nomination from local military leadership, the USO of Illinois Military Family Holiday Support program provided holiday gift cards to 176 military families which touched the lives of over 600 individuals in need this holiday season.
