I love Orange Krush, not only for being an amazing cheering section, but because of stuff like this.

The University athletic community renewed its ties to an Urbana facility for special-needs youth after the Orange Krush Foundation agreed to back construction efforts earlier this month.

The foundation will donate $50,000 over five years to Cunningham Children's Home, said Orange Krush President Eric Benz, senior in LAS.

The facility is entering the fourth year of an extensive - and expensive - building project.

"With the special needs kids have today, we need facilities to give staff the chance to be successful with them," said Sam Banks, president and CEO of the Cunningham Children's Home.

IP thanks should also be extended to Kendell Gill as well as Coach Henson, who founded the Krush, for his matching funds.
