Breedlove Sporting Goods has been honored as the 2024 IADA Friend of Athletics. This accolade was presented during the Illinois Athletic Directors Association’s annual convention in East Peoria, recognizing the store’s significant contributions to local schools and sports programs. Since 1949, Breedlove has been a cornerstone in Kewanee, providing not just sporting goods but also support for local athletic initiatives. This award, nominated by Kewanee High School’s Athletic Department, celebrates Breedlove’s enduring commitment to fostering sports and unity in their community. A true testament to their dedication was visible as Mr. Bill Breedlove received the plaque, symbolizing much more than just business success; it represents a deep-rooted partnership with the youth and residents of Kewanee and nearby towns.
