During last week’s gala dinner at Medinah Patriot Day, Gold Star Father Jim Frazier read a letter from Illinois Governor Pat Quinn commending the efforts of Illinois Patriot Education Fund and welcoming the participants of Medinah Patriot Day. Long known for his support of Illinois military families and veterans, the Governor has spent countless hours on programs and partnerships to help those deserving individuals.

In addition to developing a relationship with the Governor’s office, IPEF has been hard at work in talks with other state agencies and veterans groups to ensure that its mission and goals are complementary to ongoing efforts and programs being put forth by the state as well as ensuring that we bridge the gaps in current federal programming toward educational scholarships for veterans and their dependents.
