C.L.I.F.

“CLIF is committed to promoting community with a sense of responsibility. CLIF seeks to find opportunities to better the St. Juliana community and asks for nothing in return. The future is built through our children” 

The Catholic Lithuanian Irish Federation, CLIF, was established over 12 years ago at a Saint Juliana community BBQ, with a bright idea, a spirit of giving, and the pass of a shoebox for donations. The seven original founders include former and current Saint Juliana Dads, Steve, Farrell, Joe LeVecke, Vitas Rugienius, Jon Hawkins, John Sarni, Ray Hollister, and Rick Price.  The organization is now over twenty-five members strong, all easily distinguished at events with their token “red jacket”.

CLIF’s main annual fundraiser has evolved from a backyard BBQ to the Brewfest. The annual Brewfest event is well attended by both the St. Juliana Community as well as the surrounding

public communities. Not only is it a way to unite the community but raise funds for a great cause! The organization has donated over $350,000 to the Saint Juliana Community which include: Playground Set, Television Studio System, I-pads, Sports Uniforms and Equipment, School Security Fence and Tuition Assistance. We are grateful for their continued generosity and are pleased to honor them as this year’s Falcon Gala award recipients.

Thank you, CLIF!
