Brandon Gore with the Mid-Illini Bandits said this is the third year they have hosted the Angels for Autism tournament that helped raise money for Easterseals.
'It means a lot to me because my youngest son is autistic, so this was a way I could help provide options and resources for people like my son,' Gore said.
The Mid-Illini Bandits donated $15,000 to Easterseals during the telethon.
Those who want to donate can call (309) 688-2022 during the telethon or go to the Easterseals website.
