ICS Political Action Committee (PAC) Donor Appreciation

ICS Political Action Committee (PAC) Donor Appreciation

As the annual ICS Chicagoland Fall Convention approaches, the Illinois Chiropractic Society would like to recognize, and thank, those who support the ICS Political Action Committee (PAC). The major ICS PAC fundraising event takes place at the convention each year in the form of a raffle. The convention is slated for October 4, 2025, at the Northern Illinois University campus in Naperville.

The ICS PAC is an integral part of the overall advocacy strategy of our organization. Electing legislators who understand and support the importance of chiropractic services is essential, and the ICS PAC is the vehicle for that action. The political action committee is solely funded by ICS members, and the support from every ICS member is needed to maintain our strong voice.

PAC raffle tickets can be purchased at the convention for a chance to win prizes. Last year, nearly $3,000 was raised for the PAC through the raffle alone. There are, of course, other ways to contribute to the PAC and support chiropractic throughout the State of Illinois. You can give by making a one-time donation, or better yet, contributions can be made on an on-going basis by making monthly contributions along with your membership dues. It is easy to do and will help strengthen the voice of your profession and practice. You can also make a one-time contribution online with a credit card or mail a check to: ICS PAC, P.O. Box 9493, Springfield, IL, 62791.

Those ICS members who have been regularly contributing to the PAC on a monthly basis will be automatically included in the raffle.

The following is a list of PAC contributors for the time period beginning October 10, 2024, running through the current date. Again, a big thank you goes out to all who support the PAC. Of course, it is never too late to join in this important effort.
