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. |

The 17th Annual Event was a great success raising $25,000 to support the Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan. The Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan (DSAWM) which was formed in 1985 by six couples with children with Down Syndrome. Their original aim was to provide support and share knowledge with other families. Throughout the years, the goals of the Association have broadened to encompass advocacy, public awareness and the distribution of information relevant to Down Syndrome. The mission of the Association is to be a resource and advocacy organization promoting public awareness and supporting lifelong opportunities for individuals with Down Syndrome and their families.
