The 2025-26 school year marks the 50th year of partnership between COUNTRY Financial and the Illinois High School Association (IHSA).
As a part of its longstanding efforts to support high schools in Illinois, COUNTRY Financial is debuting a new program this fall, the Sport Your School Giveaway, which provides a $5,000 grant to the athletic department of one IHSA high school to be used to benefit the student-athletes at that school.
Staunton High School was the winner of the $5,000 check contest during the 2025-26 school year.
The second round of nominations for Sport Your School runs through May 30, so use the link below to nominate your school today!
