Plant City Optimist Club makes playground donation

A very popular project for Optimist Clubs is building or refurbishing a community playground. In past years, participation usually meant fundraising and lending volunteer hands in its construction. Today, more often than not, Optimist Clubs donate to large playground projects in their community.

The latest group to donate a large amount is the Plant City Optimist Club of Florida. Their donation of $40,000 will take place over a three year period. According to the Parks and Recreation Department, the funds will go towards building concession stands and other park amenities. The park will acknowledge the Optimist Club support with signs near the project.

Here's a picture submitted by the Plant City Optimist Club of the donation being made to the city.
