Friday morning, the Clinton YMCA's annual golf outing will tee off, and it will be the return to its annual fundraising cycle that the community had become accustomed to for many years.
The YMCA hosts its 'Strong Kids' campaign, which raises money for the YMCA. According to Rennie Cluver, Executive Director of the Clinton Y, the annual golf outing is always a very popular event for both members and community supporters of the Y.
According to Cluver, the golf outing was always the kick-off to the annual 'Strong Kids' fundraising campaign. Like many traditions, COVID altered it; however, they are returning to the former timeline.
The 'Strong Kids' campaign helps the Y support families in need who take advantage of its programs. Cluver explains they put nearly $115,000 annually into the community through scholarships; however, 'Strong Kids' annually raises around $100,000.
The Y golf outing is this Friday at the Clinton Country Club. To participate in the 'Strong Kids' campaign, visit clintoncommymca.org. You can also contact the Y at 217-935-8307 or stop in at 417 South Alexander Street in Clinton.
