A popular local restaurant and a Clinton non-profit are teaming up next week to benefit one of the biggest programs in the organization.
The Clinton YMCA in cooperation with Avanti's in Bloomington/Normal are having a fundraiser to benefit their summer programs. According to Rennie Cluver, Executive Director of the Clinton Y, this fundraiser is for scholarships in the name of former Director Jann Martin.

Cluver indicates they are tying the fundraiser into their "Strong Kids Campaign" and putting the funds raised towards allowing camp participants to be a part of their "Camp Osage" at a reduced rate.

The 'Y' receives no funding from federal or state government. Cluver says a lot of their money comes from their "Strong Kids Campaign" and other fundraiser along with community donors.
Tickets for the Avantis fundraiser need to be purchased by Wednesday, June 10. Tickets are $7 a piece and can be picked up between 4:30 and 7 pm at the YMCA parking lot.
