The Central Illinois Renewable Energy Expo is presented by the

Peoria County 4-H & Extension Foundation

Chartered in 1984, the Peoria County 4-H & Extension Foundation raises funds from individuals, corporations, and organizations to help supplement Peoria County 4-H & Extension programs. The Peoria County 4-H & Extension Foundation Board consists of volunteers with a variety of professional backgrounds and 4-H experiences. In addition to making gifts to the Foundation themselves, board members provide advice, counsel, and expertise to the fundraising, marketing, and communication operations of the Foundation.

Board members assist the Foundation in raising more private funds and recruiting new individuals, corporations, and organizations to provide financial support towards the Peoria County office. Each board member has a personal commitment to help equip Peoria County 4-H youth with leadership, citizenship, and life skills.

The Central Illinois Renewable Energy Expo (CIREE) serves as the major annual fund-raiser for the Foundation, along with our direct mail campaigns. The Foundation also accepts donations through memorials, so please consider including Peoria County 4-H & Extension in your estate plans and wills.
