Remembering Bill Butler

Nearly four decades ago, Bill Butler had a vision. He realized people with disabilities couldn’t have some of their basic needs met through regular funding sources, so in 1982, Bill pioneered the BILL BUTLER CHAMPAIGN OPEN so that proceeds from this annual tournament could assist these individuals.

The BBCO golf tournament is the agency’s principal promotional activity held annually in August. Funds generated from the BBCO directly benefit individuals served by CRSI. Net proceeds from this tournament, or any other promotional activity connected to the tournament, are used to provide for the needs of individuals that are not covered by other funding sources. Well over a half-million dollars has been raised since the start of the BBCO in 1982, and this tournament continues to benefit individuals with challenges—thanks to all of you golfers, volunteers and supporters.

2020 BBCO Golf Tournament Replaced with Day of Giving on Aug. 19th

​To our valued supporters:
 
Nearly four decades ago Bill Butler’s vision to support individuals with disabilities led to the first Annual Bill Butler Champaign Open. With your overwhelming dedication to our mission, we’ve raised over a half-million dollars to support the individuals we serve with basic necessities not covered under current funding and without you that wouldn't be possible!
 
After much deliberation, we have decided that we cannot continue with the Bill Butler Champaign Open as planned on August 19, 2020. The needs and safety of people are the foundations on which we have built our mission and core values around, and in this unprecedented time, we feel it best to honor those we serve.

​Instead, we will be hosting a Day of Giving on the same date (Aug. 19th). Our goal has not changed, and with your help, we know we can continue to make this day a success and ensure the needs of those we serve are met.
 
Please consider joining us in this mission! This is an unprecedented opportunity to continue moving forward during these unprecedented times with a unique way to give back.
 
We thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you in 2021 for the next Bill Butler Champaign Open.
 
Be safe and be well!!
 
Sincerely,
 
CRSI Management
CRSI Board of Trustees
And the BBCO Committee
