The Alvinston Optimists received a significant donation from the organizers of the Tanner Redick Memorial Two Pitch Tournament.
The August event, which commemorates a young firefighter, raised over $61,000 this year. The committee, including Redick's mother Jenny, presented the Optimist with $32,000 for their work with youth in the community.
Additional donations were made to Brooke Fire Rescue ($8,000) and Alvinston Minor Baseball ($10,000) from the tournament proceeds.
