Dedicated to helping the cherry valley community
Cherry Valley Men’s Club
Terry Murphy (pictured above) founded the Cherry Valley Men’s Club (CVMC) in 2011. His vision was to raise money and donate all back to the Cherry Valley Area. Terry’s dream continues through the efforts of the CVMC.
WHAT WE ARE AND DO:
01
COMMUNITY LEADERS
We work with the CV Village, Police Department, Fire Department as well as local businesses to support CV activities. Other community support aligns with the CV School and Library to provide funding for sports, education, and outdoor fun.
Our largest project to date is the CVAFM. In December of 2020 in partnership with the CV Village, we received various grants (CFNIL grant) and donations through our memorialized Brick Paver Drive to make all happen for family, friends and businesses recognizing our Veteran’s Valor.
CVMC gains funding through local contributions and yearly golf outing at Newburg Village.
