Fundraising

The Santa Clarita Optimist Foundation (SCOF) has been successful in sponsoring our primary fund-raising event to help Santa Clarita’s youth and families in need.  The “Canyon Country Optimist Club’s Annual Charity Auction sponsored by the SCOF,” enables the Foundation to fund its many community programs, scholarships, Safety Town-Santa Clarita, and children and youth of families in need.

The volunteers of the Foundation and the Canyon Country Optimist Club are committed to continuing their important work to support local and regional activities and programs that improve the lives of children.  It is with supporters like you that we are successful at providing hope and positive vision and bring out the best in kids.
