The heart of the Hiwassee Chapter are the members and supporters who join us at events and activities and roll up their sleeves to make a local restoration project happen. When you bring their kids out to learn and grow or support our work by contributing to our important fundraising efforts, you make it all possible. Help make our community healthier and our rivers cleaner by getting involved today!
SUPPORT OUR WORK

Everything we accomplish is thanks to you! When you attend a fundraising event or make a donation to the Hiwassee Chapter, you are joining hundreds of other supporters committed optimists who have stepped up to be champions for their rivers and fisheries.
