RecognizeGood Lighthouse Award Presented to Town & Country Optimists Club

The Town & Country Optimists Club received the RecognizeGood Lighthouse Award during the club’s weekly meeting on April 6th. Founded in 1974, this club serves more than 8,000 boys and girls each year through their affordable youth sports programs. The club offers seven different sports. Approximately 1,000 volunteers donate their time and talents each year to the tune of over 50,000 volunteer hours. T&C Optimists Club also launched and operates the Miracle League, a baseball league for area kids with special needs that prevent them from playing in traditional recreational leagues. Andrew Cooper, president of TyRex Group, Ltd. presented chapter president Rob Nester with an award plaque, along with a donation to PET-Austin in the club’s name. A big THANK YOU from all of us at RecognizeGood goes out to the Town & Country Optimists Club for its incredible impact on the health and well-being of Austin’s youth.

The RecognizeGood Lighthouse Award recognizes the selfless community efforts and philanthropy of Austin-area service clubs. By highlighting “special” organizations, we believe that we will inspire others to make our community a better place.
