...Gusty Thunderstorms with Small Hail and Cold Air Funnel Clouds
through Early Tonight...

Gusty thunderstorms capable of producing cold air funnel clouds
and small hail are forecast through early tonight. These cold air
funnels are developing underneath thunderstorms that are moving
across the area. Underneath these showers...spinning columns of
air that look like tornadoes may continue to develop. These
funnels usually are very brief and rarely touch the ground. If
these funnels do touch down...they most likely will not cause
damage to life or property.

Cold air funnels are due to very cool air aloft...warm moist air
near the ground...and are usually in association with a strong
area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to
little or no wind shear...they are usually weak and very brief.

MARION, Ill. -- And the final results are in. GiveSI's 5th year has wrapped up and the final total is here. This comes after their 30-hour Giving Tuesday event which helped more than 100 area non-profit organizations.

The annual GiveSI Campaign brought in $403,000 to help local non-profits.

The final results were presented on Tuesday, December 10. Give SI raised a record $417,189.28! The five-year total being a whopping $1,313,267.27!

Earlier estimations came on Giving Tuesday as part of the Million Dollar Party at the Diamond Club.

After counting all the donations for all of the organizations, the event wrapped up in front of a room full of supporters.

The Southern Illinois Community Foundation and WSIL have partnered together for the 5th Annual GiveSI campaign. This campaign helps raise money which goes towards local non-profits.

GiveSI helps businesses and individuals build a regional endowment, designated funds, field of interest funds, donor-advised funds or undesignated funds in order to enhance the quality of life throughout our region.

The mission is to engage the people of southern Illinois in building a tradition of philanthropy. The Southern Illinois Community Foundation is committed to creating an opportunity for donors to participate in local community development efforts to address the changing needs of our community through charitable giving.

In 2023, the total donated was more than $300,000, with a four-year grand total of $891,020.99. This money has been raised for local charities since the conception of the SICF and the News 3 partnership.
