Celebrate Year of the Bowtie with Us

Recycle and Repurpose used Bow Ties

EIU Bowtie

We're collecting as many recycled bow ties as possible to give out during National Bow Tie Day on August 28. If you have any Bow Ties that you'd like to donate to the cause, please reach out to Greg Cooper at gacooper@eiu.edu to make arrangements.
