Clinton YMCA Uses Two-Day Apple n' Pork Festival to Boost Fundraising Efforts

Earlier this week on Regional Radio, Clinton YMCA Executive Director Rennie Cluver indicated the annual 'Strong Kids' fundraising campaign is underway.

 

Last month, the YMCA participated in its annual efforts at the Apple n' Pork Festival selling pork cutlet sandwiches. Cluver indicates like most groups that participate in the festival that draws tens of thousands of people, it's hard to duplicate the opportunity they have to fund-raise in two days.

 

 

Going into the Apple n' Pork Festival weekend, there were concerns about the availability of food for the various groups and the costs of those items. Some groups had to raise their food prices and Cluver notes the Y was among those.

 

 

'Strong Kids' annually raises around $100,000 for the YMCA that helps kids, families and seniors afford programming at the Y. Cluver notes that only goes so far as they subsidize around $130,000 annually in those costs so fundraisers like the Apple n' Pork Festival help get them the rest of the way.
