The North Suburban Youth Foundation is the successor to The Optimists Club of Wilmette/Evanston. It is an independent local 501(c)(3) entity devoted to serving the needs of youth and the community.
We provide financial support in the form of scholarships to deserving youth and grants to non-profit organizations that provide for local area youth. We are commited to the prevention, treatment and search for a cure of juvenile cancer by hosting the annual Childhood Cancer Classic Golf Tournament.
