19TH ANNUAL EVENT  - 2017

The Clays for Kids Foundation proudly supported Baxter Community Center in 2017.  Baxter’s Child Development Center (CDC) is a dynamic place of growth and learning. The CDC cares for children from infancy to age twelve, allowing parents to work or attend school with the knowledge that their sons and daughters are safe and learning. 
Each year, the Child Development Center serves 60 children, and more than 30% of children served have families with an annual income of less than $15,000. The 19th annual event raised $27. 000 for the CDC. The CDC will use these funds to expand and upgrade center’s capacity so they can serve several toddler age children that will graduate to the program. The upgrades will include new flooring, paint along with age appropriate learning supplies.  

18TH ANNUAL EVENT  - 2016

The Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers and Support Staff at the Clinica Santa Maria are an amazing and inspiring group of people. On January 7 the Clays for Kids Foundation (CFK) committee had the pleasure of touring the clinic. While there the staff treated the committee to an authentic Mexican feast and shared how the $35,000 donation raised at the 18th Annual Charity Shoot will impact the young patients that depend on the Clinica Santa Maria. This team is truly dedicated and passionate about their work and it shows! The clinic is more than just a doctor’s office, it is a place where family and community come together to make each other better physically, mentally and spiritually. Each year the CFK committee members seek out charity that is doing great work for children in need and this year was no exception. Thank you Clinica Santa Maria for letting the Clays-for-Kids Foundation be a part of the amazing work you do for our community.
A special thanks to our Platinum Supporters, Highpoint Electric, Triangle Associates, MacAllister Rentals, Van Dyken Mechanical and Wolverine Building Group for your support!
