Clinton YMCA Celebrating Successful 'Strong Kids Campaign'

The Clinton YMCA met and exceeded its fundraising goal for 2022 during this past year's 'Strong Kids Campaign'.

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Executive Director Rennie Cluver told Regional Radio they exceeded the $100,00 goal they set at the beginning of the campaign. He believes the success of the 'Strong Kids' campaign is a testimony to the community support they receive.

 

 

As the 'Strong Kids' campaign progresses, Cluver hopes to begin to bring more new donors on board. One area they are targeting is existing members that have the means that contribute as much or as little, but even a small something can make a difference. 

 

 

Cluver reminds the goal of $100,000 or any dollars beyond that goal, does not even cover all the costs of scholarships for youth programs, senior memberships, and camps for kids.

 

 

Cluver indicates the mission of the YMCA emphasizes the importance of fundraising. He explains there are discount programs offered by insurance providers to get customers exercising and sometimes they take a loss on those programs but they just want people in the Y and bettering their health.

 

 

While the 'Strong Kids' campaign runs mostly from the fall up to the end of the year, Cluver says contributions are always welcome. The best way to donate may be to drop off a check at the YMCA at 417 South Alexander Street in Clinton or to visit clintoncommymca.org. He notes the Y is looking to expand its online accessibility for potential donors as well.
