WCIA 3 will be placing its Day of Giving emphasis once again on the Victory Over Violence initiative in partnership with United Way of Champaign County in 2022.
Victory Over Violence is a solutions-driven response to the problems of violence that plague our community.
The goal is to raise awareness and resources for organizations and individuals that are working toward solutions. Money raised during the Day of Giving will be used to fund Solution Grants which will be distributed to programs that work to address the problems of violence.
The United Way of Champaign County is partnering with WCIA 3 to continue this initiative in awarding Solution Grants, and track how our community is achieving Victory Over Violence.
15 organizations have been recipients of the Day of Giving Victory Over Violence initiative:
- Crime Stoppers
- First String

- Shop with a Cop
- Dream Girls
- New Foundation Outreach After School Program

- After 3
- Oakwood Trace Creating Leaders and Restoring Community
- ACES (Ability to Change Each Situation)
