Optimist Clubs participate in "Tuscon Has a Heart" Campaign

The Casas Adobes Optimist Club, along with the other Optimist Clubs in Tuscon, are joining in the community  effort to bring 12,500 people together to let the country know that Tuscon has heart.  The project is an honor to the victims of the shooting in Tuscon January 8th. It is also meant to celebrate the strength of the community.

Compassion, courage, and heart: that is what an Optimist Club is all about so the Optimist Clubs jumped wholeheartedly into the project. They are recruiting volunteers and are acting as part of the coordinating team.

Volunteers wearing red shirts will make up a giant human red heart on the the field. The design requires 12,500 individuals, and others may be seated in the bleachers. Only 20,400 people will be admitted to the free event. Donations for the Community Food Bank are appreciated.

The Tuscon Has a Heart Campaign will take place on Sunday, February 13 at Hi Corbett Field. The stadium will open at 11:00 a.m. and the photograph will be taken from the air at 2:00 p.m.
