Community Support
Piper Creek Optimist Club of Red Deer, AB
The Piper Creek Optimist Club of Red Deer, AB, was incorporated in 1985 and operates as a non-profit organization, whose primary objective is to raise funds that support various youth programs throughout Red Deer and Central Alberta. The club maintains a membership average of 40 individuals dedicated to serving youth in the Red Deer region. The main benefits of working together with the Piper Creek Optimist club are below:
- All events we organize and operate, are run by our group of volunteers, which means, very little of our costs are attached to event planning or professional fundraising fees.
- 90% of the proceeds we receive from each of our fundraising endeavors STAY within the City of Red Deer and surrounding communities!
- Our focus is on programs, or projects that do not exist, or are underserved by our various levels of governments, and other service organizations.
Over the years, the Piper Creek Optimist club has played a big role in developing and supporting programs such as Camp Quality, DARE (Drug Abuse and Resistance Education), Safe and Dry Grads, Bike Safety, Just Say ‘No’, Butt Ugly and projects like the Children’s Services Center, Youth and Volunteer Centre, Women’s Outreach, Red Deer Public Library, or the Special Care Nursery in the Red Deer Regional Hospital among many others.
Well over $1,250,000 has been provided to these and other local causes over our 25-year history!
There is more to being an Optimist member than just fundraising. Whether you’re searching for an outlet to help your community, fellowship, or rewarding camaraderie, you’ll find what you’re looking for in the Piper Creek Optimist Club. We hold numerous events for our members such as, golf tournaments, Christmas and Halloween parties as well as Social Nights. Come out and join the fun and help your community at the same time!
