Sauk Trails Optimist Club Fundraisers
Each year there are various fundraisers that the Optimists participate in to help with raising money for our Club Scholarships and Grants that are provided for community organizations serving youth. The club has a 501C3 so any contributions can also be accepted by companies or individuals for tax write-off. We have fundraisers each year which not only include selling Bucky Books, and Fundcrazr tickets, on-line purchases of nuts, and yearly events where Optimists earn money by contributing their time and talent at the Mustard Day, Culver's, and/or the Bratfest. See some picture of the Fun Time by ALL.

Mustard Day
The Mustard Volunteer Program Downtown Middleton on Saturdays in August is our annual tribute to the king of condiments. National Mustard Day is the biggest fundraising event of the year. Since National Mustard Day is a street festival, most of us will be working outside in different tents, running games for a few dollars each, selling souvenirs & cold drinks, grilling and serving hot dogs, to serve mustard samples. With many volunteers, who earned money for our STOC Foundation for the hours they work, this is an annual VERY FUN Event.

Terry Lynn Nuts
The TerryLynn Fundraiser profits are for the Sauk Trails Youth Foundation to support youth activities. If you order online, they can have the items shipped directly to your or a customer's home. The profit on the sale will go directly to the Sauk Trails Optmist Club. More information is available in the STOC Newsletters or Ter-Lyn-Nuts.

Culver's
About quarterly during a year, a Tuesday is scheduled at the Culver's on Mineral Point Road for 8 optimists who can volunteer (either 4-6 and/or 6-8) at the Culver's. Duties include welcoming, busing tables, serving food, and other activities. This is a fun event and another great fundraiser for the STOC Foundation for the hours worked.
