Who is a champion in your life?
We all know someone who has touched our lives, gone above and beyond to lift others up, and makes our community stronger. We recognize some of these outstanding people each year at our annual Champs Celebration. Being recognized as a CIS Champ is inspiring for the honoree, the person who nominated them, and all who learn about these special members in our community.
We think there should be more of these uplifting moments.
Our Honor A Champion lets you turn your CIS support into a special moment for someone else.
