What Is the Moose Race?
It’s like the Kentucky Derby… but fuzzier.
Imagine the thrill of the track — but with large wooden mooses, giant fuzzy dice, and a room full of people cheering for victory.
Presented by the Optimist Club of Milton, this is our signature fundraising event of the year. It’s a night of high energy, friendly competition, and community spirit.
The Cause
All proceeds support the Optimist Dream Kitchen, food deliveries for those in need, local youth projects, and the Townsend Smith Foundation.
