Where Your Donation Goes

Saluki Athletics is teaming up with the SIH Foundation for the Salukis Blackout Cancer Football game. This year's proceeds will benefit the SIH Coach Kill Cancer Fund.

COACH KILL CANCER FUND

The SIH Coach Kill Cancer Fund was established after Coach Jerry Kill’s personal experience with cancer. Jerry Kill and Rebecca Kill partnered with the SIH Foundation to create the Coach Kill Cancer Fund, helping cancer patients in need throughout the southern 16 counties of Illinois. The fund provides expenses such as:

• Fuel to cancer treatments
• Co‐pays
• Cancer-related medical bills
• Prescription assistance
• Nutritional needs
• Transportation costs
• Lodging
• Medical equipment related to cancer treatment

The SIH Coach Kill Cancer Fund has assisted over 2400 patients since 2007, distributing more than almost a million dollars to patients in need.
