The Clinton YMCA's annual Strong Kids campaign kicked off last week and Executive Director Rennie Cluver says the annual campaign helps the youth and families of the community afford the programs of the YMCA.

 

 

Cluver indicates the Strong Kids campaign doesn't extend to just youth and their families. He points out it also helps seniors who cannot afford their programming.

 

 

According to Cluver, Strong Kids is a necessity for them to survive. He explains their Strong Kids covers a good amount of their yearly operating budget and does not extend to all their re-investment in their programs.

 

 

Mailers have been sent out about the Strong Kids campaign. To get involved, contact the Y at 217-935-8307 or stop into their facility at 417 South Alexander Street to learn more.
