Amplify the Good: Pekin Insurance Runs for Hope with St. Jude

At the Illinois Life & Health Insurance Council (ILHIC), we believe in celebrating the good work insurers are doing to uplift their communities. In this edition of our Amplify the Good campaign, we’re proud to spotlight Pekin Insurance and their unwavering support of one of the state’s most impactful charitable traditions: the St. Jude Runs.

Since 2012, Pekin Insurance has been a dedicated sponsor of the St. Jude Runs, a powerful movement that raises funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where families facing pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses receive world-class care without ever receiving a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

Pekin Insurance: A Partner in Purpose

Pekin Insurance’s sponsorship over the past 12+ years has helped sustain the momentum of this event and ensure its continued success. Their involvement goes far beyond financial support; it’s a demonstration of corporate values rooted in compassion, resilience, and commitment to community.

By backing the St. Jude Runs year after year, Pekin Insurance helps make it possible for thousands of individuals to run not just for fitness, but for a future where no child dies in the dawn of life.

Running for Something Bigger

To date, the St. Jude Runs has raised over $88 million for lifesaving research and care. Each mile run, each donation raised, and each story shared brings us closer to cures and to a world where hope always has a fighting chance.

ILHIC applauds Pekin Insurance for their dedication to this cause and for being a shining example of how Illinois insurers are amplifying the good, step by step, mile by mile.
