The Western Illinois University Parent Ambassadors are holding a Raising Illinois Forum on Thursday, April 25 at 6 p.m. on the Quad Cities campus, 3300 River Drive in Moline. This event is hosted and sponsored by SAL Community Services, Floreciente Association and the WIU Parent Ambassadors.

WIU Ambassadors and Raising Illinois will lead a discussion where participants will receive information about upcoming legislation and hear community testimonies and Raising Illinois initiatives. Raising Illinois aims to create an equitable and cohesive system of support for expecting families, infants, toddlers and community members where they live.

Registration is required, as dinner will be provided to all attendees. Call Jesse Rojo at (503) 840-2209 or email jrojo@raisingillinois.org to register.
