'13 Annual Meeting Honors Major Contributors to Crime Stoppers
July 25, 2013
Crime Stoppers of Champaign County and its community partners were highlighted during its annual meeting today. Some of the group’s strongest supporters were honored by the Illinois State Crime Stoppers Board of Directors.
Illinois State Crime Stoppers honors individuals, groups and companies across the state every year for their participation on the local level. Thursday, six companies were given awards for their participation and dedication to this community partnership.
Illinois State Crime Stoppers honored the following businesses for helping to make a local fundraiser a success. The Outstanding Contributors of the Year Award went to the State Farm Center (formerly known as Assembly Hall) and to Monster Shred, Incorporated of Champaign. Both award winners donated time, space and services for the annual Champaign County Crime Stoppers’ Shred-It Event. The event encourages residents to bring their personal documents for shredding. Around 200 people safely destroyed their documents in June, keeping them out of the hands of criminals while saving space in landfills.
Four media outlets were also honored with the Media Organization of the Year Award. The winners were WCIA 3, WDWS/WHMS/WKIO, The News-Gazette and Adams Outdoor Advertising. These companies donated resources, print space, billboards and air-time to help Champaign County Crime Stoppers reach out to the public.
Those awards were presented at Champaign County Crime Stoppers’ annual meeting which was held Thursday at the Urbana Country Club at 100 E. Country Club Drive.
Board members also thanked law enforcement for their cooperation. John Hecker, President of Crime Stoppers of Champaign County believes the group’s on-going fight against crime would not be possible without the support of local law enforcement. Hecker adds the state recognition highlights the strength of the local program and its partnership with the community.

CRIME STOPPERS SHRED-IT EVENT JUNE 1, 2013
May 17, 2013
CHAMPAIGN COUNTY – The best way to protect yourself against identity theft is to make sure your personal information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. And just a few minutes on your part could make a huge difference.
Join Crime Stoppers of Champaign County Saturday, June 1st from 9 am to 11 am for the SHRED-IT EVENT. Bring your old personal documents to the State Farm Center (formerly known as Assembly Hall) where you can get rid of them permanently. We’re working with Monster Shred, a local company dedicated to helping you and the environment at the same time.
We’ll accept the following documents: medical records, financial statements, credit applications, bank statements, documents with social security numbers or driver’s license numbers, bank checks, tax records and legal documents over eight years old.
There has been remarkable support for this annual event. It has helped to stop identity theft in Central Illinois, while saving more than 150 trees and more than 25 cubic yards of landfill space. But because of this success, we’re limiting the number of boxes that we can accept. The limit is two boxes no bigger than a Bankers Box.
The U. S. Department of Justice says identity theft hurts millions of people every year. John Hecker, President of Crime Stoppers of Champaign County, believes a proactive approach can save you time, money and worry in the long run and Crime Stoppers is happy to lead the way.
Come out and join us Saturday, June 1st at the State Farm Center from 9am to 11am. Look for us in the parking lot under the marquee at Kirby and First on the U of I campus. Crime Stoppers is asking for a small donation of $5 to help pay future rewards. Crime Stoppers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for tips that lead to arrests in cases across Champaign County.
