The Morris Community YMCA is excited to announce a generous $30,000 gift from the Jason Clearwater Fund in support of the Community Grows Here Capital Campaign. This donation will provide invaluable equipment and resources to sports programs at the future Morris Hospital YMCA, which is set to open in early 2025 at its location adjacent to Morris Grade School. 

The Y, in partnership with Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers, envisions a place where the community will come together to grow in spirit, mind, and body.

“We have been proud to offer YMCA sports programs to Grundy County and the surrounding communities for more than a decade,” Chief Business Development Officer Missy Durkin said. “And we know we will continue to build and improve these programs thanks to the incredible support from groups like the Jason Clearwater Fund. We can’t wait to welcome future athletes and their families.”

If you haven’t yet pledged your support for the Community Grows Here Capital Campaign, there is still time to make a gift and ensure your participation in one of the most transformative projects in Grundy County history.
