Who We Are
Back the Blue Champaign County is a group of over 5,000 citizens working in private and public sector professions; derive from all walks of life; and are demographically, socioeconomically, ethnically, and politically diverse. We are unashamed to support first responders, active-duty military, veterans, and their families.
At such a pivotal time in our nation’s history, it is imperative that we render them aid and boost morale as they continue to serve our communities with courage, honor, and dignity. They deserve encouragement, gratitude, and respect as they stand on the front line of a global pandemic, provide safety to all during civil unrest, and are deliberately being used as political pawns.
Our two-fold mission as described allows us to practice responsible, meaningful community outreach and engagement initiatives and serve as bridge-building liaisons. We look forward to partnering with you in our community outreach and engagement initiatives so that the welfare of citizens and first responders in Champaign County can be lifted up and brought together with mutual respect and understanding.
