7th Annual “Clays for Kids” to Benefit Jenkins Athletic Club March 24, 2023
Monday, March 20th, 2023
The Jenkins Athletic Club (JAC), a nonprofit youth athletic club for Savannah’s boys and girls founded in 1933, is pleased to announce registration is open for the 7th Annual JAC Clays for Kids. Hosted by the JAC board of directors, the Clays for Kids will kick off at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 24, 2023, at the Forest City Gun Club.
The JAC board would like to invite Savannah’s professional community and clay shooting enthusiasts to join this special fundraising event to support the club. All proceeds from the event directly benefit the JAC and its ongoing mission to provide safe and accessible athletic facilities and youth programs for the girls and boys of Savannah.
“Thanks to the generosity of community-minded friends who come out to participate in our annual Clays for Kids fundraiser each year,” said Mark Stevens, Clays for Kids chair and member of the JAC board of directors, “you have afforded the Club the opportunity to accomplish a range of critical upgrades to our facilities to better provide a quality athletic and learning environment for Savannah’s youth. For that, we are extremely grateful to have your support!”
Including just this past basketball season during January-March, 2023, the Club coordinated 69 teams participating in the 6U, 8U and 10U age groups; of which, 25 of the 69 teams were girl teams, a number that continues to grow every year.
“Without ongoing funding and support from our patrons, we would not be able to care for and expand our facilities and programs to ensure the JAC is around for another 90 years,” continued Stevens. “Each year, this event in particular helps the club fund our popular kids’ summer camp, sports programs, and updates to our facilities.”
