Team. Major ProjectsSkateboard Park - Now the Meijer Recreation Center, under direction of the South East Livingston Community Recreation Authority (SELCRA). The club worked for three years with active fundraising to support this project. In the mean time the Brighton Optimists built the PortaBOSS, a temporary facility that was placed in Brighton High's parking lot for two summers, and we continue to support programs at the park.
Imagination
Station - Two members of
the club had the idea to organize Back Door Drop-In Center - One of the club's first initiatives over 25 years ago, was to provide a safe haven for kids having trouble in school and with life. It laid the foundation for Phoenix HS, later known as Renaissance Alternative High School. On our 25th anniversary in September 2003, the Brighton Optimist Club pledged an additional $10,000 in scholarship money for graduating students. Childhood
Cancer - As part of
Optimist International's Childhood Cancer Campa
