STEPHENVILLE, Texas –– The Stephenville Optimist Club continues to support the local community
through its 54th Annual Auction on Friday, May 1 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall at City Limits, located directly
across from the Purple Goat.
Led by a mission of providing hope and positivity to support the youth and community, all proceeds
raised by the annual auction will be used to provide school supplies for Stephenville ISD students for the
upcoming school year. The event will include silent and live auctions, as well as live entertainment and
heavy appetizers.
“The Optimist Club auction has been supporting youth activities in Stephenville for over 50 years, and
we’re excited to continue this great community tradition,” said Optimist Club President, Dennis Jones.
“In recent years, this event has raised money for a new sound system at Lem Brock Field, the SHS
Outdoor Classroom, city park renovations, and so much more. We’re so thankful to our partners who have
donated items and would love to see the community fill up City Hall and participate.
“Since 1966, the Stephenville Optimist Club has raised over $1 million that has been reinvested back into
our youth and community,” he continued. “We’re working diligently on the next million.”
In addition to joining the festivities on May 1, the community is invited to participate through donations –
either in merchandise for auction or monetary contributions – as well as joining for the event. Cash
donations to the Optimist Club can be made at
https://one.bidpal.net/optimist54, and checks can be made
out to Stephenville Optimist Foundation.
