Fundraising Projects
Christmas Tree Sales
Beginning the day after Thanksgiving, the Club’s Christmas tree
lot is open for business, continuing a long-running Optimist tradition in North
Carolina. The Club uses this major fundraiser to finance its numerous youth and
community projects. All members of the Club share responsibility for lot setup,
pricing and tree sales. As with all Club projects, no member receives any pay
for his/her services.
Optimist Classic Golf Tournament
Established in 1999, the Optimist Classic Golf Tournament has
become the other major fundraising project for the Club. Businesses in the
Raleigh area help support the golf tournament through financial sponsorships and
teams. Profits from the event are used to continue and expand the many youth and
community service projects of the Club.
