2011 Canathon Results 

The Bloomington-Normal Jaycees wish to thank the community and several organizations for helping make Canathon successful in 2011.

With help from area Kroger stores, Curves, YouthBuild and nearly 100 volunteers, we collected more than 15,000 pounds of food for local pantries. We also received generous monetary donations from dozens of Bloomington-Normal residents. This will help feed needy families at seven area food pantries for several weeks.

Thank you for your unyielding generosity and support.
