The Clinton YMCA's annual strong kids campaign is underway and the Y's Executive Director is hoping to reach new donors for this year's drive.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Rennie Cluver told Regional Radio the 'Strong Kids' Campaign is the largest fund drive they have that helps support kids, families, and seniors in the community through scholarships to afford its programming.

While Cluver is grateful to the point of a loss for words of the support that continuously pours out for this campaign each year, he says they need to start reaching new donors. 

The 'Strong Kids' campaign seeks to raise roughly $100,000 each year and Cluver says while sometimes he wonders if they can make it because of various circumstances, they have always met that goal.

With the harvest in central Illinois in full swing, Cluver reminds those in agriculture of the 'Acres for Kids' program that allows producers the opportunity to plant seed in their fields that at the harvest season will partially go back to the Clinton YMCA and is a part of the 'Strong Kids' campaign.
