FUN(D)RAISING
Each initiative of our club is designed to better serve our community and make a positive difference in the lives of the youth of our community.
All money raised through fundraising stays in Uxbridge to support youth-centered activities.
Fantasy of Lights
6:00 PM TO 9:30 PM
The 18th annual Uxbridge Optimist Fantasy of Lights is going to be another special winter event! Join in our amazing drive-through Christmas light display event, one of the biggest exhibits of Christmas lights in Ontario.
Optimist Trees
For many years, the Optimist Club brought the best Christmas trees to town. Families would stop by Canadian Tire to pick out their tree, and our friendly local Optimists were always happy to help tie it to the top of the car. It was a little holiday tradition that brought smiles all around.
Past Events
Duck Derby
Our Annual Duck Derby saw 3,000 ducks racing down the Uxbridge Brook. This event coupled with a free Family Fun afternoon became a great spring event that our town came to love and support.
