Friend of Youth · Appleton, Wisconsin

Bringing out the best in kids — and in our community — every week, for decades.

The Appleton Noon Optimist Club is a group of friends and neighbors in the Fox Valley who believe in young people. We meet over lunch, roll up our sleeves, and fund the scholarships, programs, and organizations that help kids thrive.
