My 🧡💙 heart is overflowing with gratitude today. A monumental gift to support an Illini monument. A legacy for those who are gone and an inspiration for those who will follow. A partnership that will push our program to new heights. Thank you, Larry! #GiesMemorialStadium

Gies Memorial Stadium will always serve as a beacon of hope, service and sacrifice for those who have transformed the University of Illinois; just like Larry and his father.

We recently lost one of our most loyal and cherished fans. Roger was more than a supporter, he was family. Always present, encouraging and offering wisdom to our athletes like a trusted extension of our staff. His presence elevated everyone. Roger you will be deeply missed.
