Metro Area Youth Foundation

The Metro Area Youth Foundation (MAYF) is a 501c3 charitable foundation formed by Optimist Clubs in the Omaha area, eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. It has since expanded to include many additional friends and supporters who do not belong to the Optimist Club. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for children and their families, focusing on financial assistance to those fighting pediatric cancer. We believe families should focus on healing, strengthening family bonds, and savoring every moment with each other. It is our hope that we lessen their worries over unpaid bills and ease their stresses of increased medical bills by helping where we can.
