As Optimists, we live by the Optimist Creed written by Christian D. Larson.
Named after the author of ‘The Optimist Creed’, the Christian D. Larson giving level was adopted to recognize donors who contribute a one-time $1,000 unrestricted gift. Christian D. Larson Partners join an elite group of individuals dedicated to following the Creed, and to helping fund the Foundation’s mission through their personal giving.
