Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Receives Assistance from Tom Bodett

Champaign-Urbana Public Health District Announces Public Service Announcement featuring Tom Bodett

Champaign, IL – The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) is excited to announce the release of a public service announcement (PSA) featuring Champaign native, Tom Bodett. Tom Bodett graciously agreed to record a 30-second PSA to encourage Champaign County residents to wear a face covering to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“We were excited that Tom Bodett was willing to make a PSA for us to use in Champaign County. He has such a recognizable voice from his commercial work, and I am personally a fan of his from his appearances on “Wait, Wait...Don’t Tell Me” on National Public Radio,” said Julie Pryde, CUPHD Administrator. 

CUPHD would also like to thank Chris Powers, retired journalist from Rantoul, for his efforts to make this possible.
