CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — One Champaign woman used Memorial Day to plant a positive seed in her community.
Tina Gordon used her own money to put together a fun event for kids at Beardsley Park. She said its a way to give kids in the area something positive to do instead of finding trouble. She brought out bounce houses, inflatable water slides, and a food truck — whose owner also volunteered her time to help achieve victory over violence.
