Information provided
URBANA – Belle's Yellow Legacy of Love, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Champaign County dedicated to supporting the special needs community, is hosting a “Jeep Poker Run” on Saturday, June 21, 2025. This exciting event, open to all vehicles (not just Jeeps!), invites the community to cruise in and help fund vital programs and resources for families in Champaign County.
Registration for the Poker Run will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the Urbana Brewing Company. Participants will enjoy a scenic route with various stops, culminating back at the starting location at 5:00 p.m. for prizes, entertainment, and food. Participants will collect playing cards at designated stops along the route, aiming for the best poker hand at the final destination.
All proceeds from the Jeep Poker Run will directly benefit Belle's Yellow Legacy of Love's mission to make a lasting impact in the lives of individuals with special needs. Founded in loving memory of Belle, a young woman with autism and epilepsy whose favorite color was yellow, the charity continues her legacy by funding essential support, resources, and inclusive programs.
At the heart of the organization is the Giving Fund, which provides crucial assistance to families facing unique challenges. This fund has enabled the purchase of elopement devices for child safety, sensory tools for emotional regulation, clothing for children in foster care, and numerous other items that significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with special needs when other avenues of support fall short.
"We step in when there's no one else," says Glenda Marck, founder and president of Belle's Yellow Legacy of Love. "The Giving Fund lets us say 'yes' when a family is told 'no.' That's exactly what Belle would've wanted."
Join Belle's Yellow Legacy of Love for a fun-filled day of cruising and community support. Register for the Jeep Poker Run and help make a tangible difference in the lives of families in Champaign County's special needs community.
