Our Opportunity

With the recent bond issue passing, we have the opportunity to strengthen our partnership with Springfield Public Schools. Williams Elementary will be undergoing a renovation and reconstruction. We have the opportunity to build a Club, similar to the Sertoma Unit, at Williams.

Capital Campaign

We have successfully exceeded our $1,200,000 fundraising goal. Currently, we have raised $1,310,700 in pledges. Now is your chance to support programming needs at Williams Elementary. Please consider becoming a friend of the new Club at Williams Elementary by making a contribution.
