While the total donation gathered for this 2024 Kids Muddy Madness is not available yet, since organizing this community event in 2012 they report to have collected over $850,000.

The Tazewell County Clerk & Recorder of Deeds employees have participated since 2019 by supporting "Team Tazewell County Clerk" featuring the children of friends and family. John C. Ackerman himself sponsors the event each year as well. The funds gathered are individual donations and no taxpayer revenue has been utilized for this office activity.
