Tom Hayden, Executive Director
of the Jeffrey Thomas Hayden
Foundation recently met with the
Lakota Optimist Club to explore
mutual opportunities for both
organizations to work
collaboratively to support the youth
of West Chester and Liberty
Townships. A number of projects were
identified and plans are moving
forward.
The Optimist Club will take an
active role in the Annual Piggy Bank
collection drive and will also be
assisting with the upcoming Robert
Jackson Annual Golf Classic on
September 29, 2008. The Optimist
Club also participates in the Annual
Optimist International fund raiser
for Pediatric Brain Tumors. These
funds are collected annually at the
local Walmart store in the month of
May. 50 % of the dollars collected
go to Optimist International to help
fight Pediatric Cancer and the local
Club may use the other 50% to
support local efforts for Pediatric
Brain Cancer They have pledged the
local share to the Jeffrey Thomas
Hayden Foundation beginning in 2009.
