Most organizations have a mission statement. If you have ever been a part of writing a mission statement, you know how difficult that can be. Care must be taken to be broad enough, general enough and flexible enough, so that anything you want to do is addressed in your mission statement. Mission statements are periodically revisted and if the scope or purpose of the organization has changed, well then, the mission statement is changed. That's called, "adjusting to the times".

We are the Illini Quarterback Club. Over our 70 year history, we have witnessed considerable change. How many former Coaches and Athletic Directors can you name? Big Ten Titles and Bowl Games, All-American and All-Conference Players ...... changing uniforms and a remodeled stadium, wins and losses. Through all of that time and all of those memories and changes, our mission has remained the same.

"The Fighting Illini Quarterback Club's Mission is to support the Fighting Illini Football Team."

We are commited to supporting the great tradition of Illinois football. The university, the coaches and their families, the players and their families, the game day experience, the Marching Illini and our great fans and supporters. Please join us in this great tradition. Our weekly luncheons and radio shows, our Coaches and Players Meet and Greets, our Golf Outing, Ladies Day, Bus Trips and the Tailgates help define who we are.

We are the ILLINI!

We are the ILLINI Nation!

We are the FIGHTING ILLINI Quarterback Club!
