This is a picture that you don't see a lot of in the Optimist Club world. Not that Optimist Clubs don't give away money; trust me, they do! However, Optimist Clubs are especially known for their hands-on activities in the community, especially with programs that benefit children and pictures most frequently include kids.
In this picture, the Optimist Club of Princeton, Illinois decided to support a local soccer program. The $1,000 check will allow the coaches who are already in place to reach more kids by covering fees and purchasing needed equipment. It was a great way to serve more kids without reinventing the wheel.
