Bozeman Optimist Live Auction

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 we have canceled the 52nd Annual Garragarama at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. Our apologies to all the vendors and the general public who have be looking forward to this annual event. As an alternative we are inviting all of our Garagarama friends to participate in our first Bozeman Optimist online live auction, beginning Saturday, April 4 to Saturday, April 11, 2020.

As a community service organization with the mission to serve the well being of youth in the greater Gallatin Valley, the Bozeman Optimist Club is reaching out for your support. In order to continue our ability where we may continue to fund programs for youth in our communities, we are asking our friends to come along and help support our vision for serving the youth.

Looking forward to all of you joining our Team!

In addition to sponsoring a number of youth programs, the Optimist Club hosts such events as a Fall warm-clothing drive with Thrive and a fishing derby in the Spring, to a summer recreation program with the City of Bozeman and participates in park development improvements such as the Bozeman Ponds near the Gallatin Valley Mall.
