Sportsclub and Defenders for Children team up gets $12,000

GREENVILLE, S.C. –  Sportsclub Fitness & Wellness  raised more than $12,000 last month to support Defenders for Children.

Founded in 2010, Defenders for Children aims to prevent child abuse, trafficking, and child pornography by creating, implementing, and operating projects that raise community awareness by educating adults and children while increasing community involvement to keep children safe.

During the month of September, members and staff of the three Sportsclub sites in Greenville raised funds through a series of events including a Stair Climb for our Heroes competition on September 11, the Members Make a Difference Social on September 17, and a Pickleball and K-9 Social on September 22

“We are thankful for our partnership with Sportsclub,” said Toni Clark, CEO and Founder of Defenders for Children. “Their staff and members helped make a big impact in our community.”

Sportclub’s campaign was part of a larger one being led by its parent company, acac Fitness & Wellness Centers, which has locations in Pennsylvania, Virginia and South Carolina. The 30 Days for $30 campaign was originally created in 2009 to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. Since then, acac has supported a variety of organizations including the American Heart Association, the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Red Cross, and more. 

“We are honored to have helped such an amazing organization in our community,” said Kelly Brogdon for Sportsclub.
