That's Rentertainment is proud to support the following not-for-profit organizations and encourages everyone to do what they can to help organizations they feel make a difference in their community and/or in their lives.

For more information about not-for-profits in the Urbana-Champaign community stop by the United Way offices. They'll be able to steer you towards a group that will be of interest to you.

Volunteering is fun!

United Way of Champaign County
That's Rentertainment and owner Geoff Merritt have been Pillars of the United Way for years. Through the United Way's efforts with local not for profits, thousands of people in Champaign County receive the help they need. Geoff also serves on the United Way's Youth Vision Council and as a member of the Youth Allocations Committee.

University YMCA
The University YMCA is very instrumental in helping student organizations whose focus is on social and environmental change. Their weekly lecture series (KYU and Friday Forum) are an excellent way to learn more about the world around you while eating lunch. The YMCA also offers non-credit Communiversity classes in a wide variety of subjects. Come on over and see how the other Y operates...

Illini 4000
The Illini 4000 is committed to supporting cancer causes both nationally and locally within the central Illinois community. That's why the Illini 4000 has chosen to financially support Camp Kesem as well as the American Cancer Society Research Fund. Camp Kesem is an organization which runs summer camps for children whose parents have been affected by cancer. In previous years, Camp Kesem at the University of Illinois has not been able to secure the necessary funding to launch a camp. The Illini 4000 is proud of the service Camp Kesem provides and are committed to supporting Camp Kesem at the University of Illinois.

Lance Armstrong Foundation
Here it is in the fall of 2005 and That's Rentertainment has already sold over 2,500 LAF "LiveStrong" bracelets. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the LAF. We are proud to help Lance raise money for cancer research, education and his support of cancer survivors. (P.S. Congratulations, Lance, on your 7th Tour de France victory)
