SUMMIT LIONS - CENTURY OF SERVICE
TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY!
WE DO SO MANY GREAT THINGS
In 1925, Helen Keller attended the Lions Clubs International Convention and challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness." Since that time, Lions have been tireless advocates for the blind and visually impaired.
Today we are 46,000 clubs and 1.4+ million members world-wide. Extending beyond our original mission, our members do whatever is needed to help their local communities. Everywhere we help, we make friends — with children who need eyeglasses, with seniors who need our help, prepare meals for the hungry, promote diabetes awareness, clean up parks — all while working to make a difference in the lives of others.
SUMMIT LIONS CLUB - WE FUND…Free eye exams and glasses for local children and senior citizens in need; prepare meals to feed the hungry; scholarships for Summit High School seniors pursuing medical careers; eyeglass collection and recycling. We also provide annual support for numerous wide-reaching community health programs and projects focused on environment, youth, diabetes and hunger.
WE CAN ONLY DO THIS IMPORTANT WORK WITH YOUR SUPPORT!
Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.
Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts.
Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring.
There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.
Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.
Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.
Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
