Serving the Local Community For Over 67 Years

Friends of Optimist,


On November 6, 2005, the Gettysburg Optimist Club is participating in the Adams County Community Foundation's (ACCF) Giving Spree.


The youth in the community are counting on you to mark charity #85 Optimist Club of Gettysburg on the Giving Spree form! The Optimist Club of Gettysburg is a 501-3C non-profit organization. As a reminder, our supported programs are open to ALL children, NO child is turned away!  


Thank you so much for your donation, and best wishes to you, your family, and all our children. 

To contribute, go to the ACCF Giving Spree website to learn more!


Thank you so much for being a part of improving the lives of our local youth. We are forever grateful for your generosity and promise to continue to do the very best we can to “Bring Out The Best In Kids” as the club has done for the last 67 years.
