As we begin a new calendar year, we see a new light of hope. A fresh new year to start with a clean slate, a blank canvas. A story waiting to be written. As a Lion, your opportunities to make this year count are endless. And while the last year delivered us challenges, it also delivered us incredibly innovative and creative ways to connect. There are more ways to serve now than ever before. Begin your journey today!
In friendship,
Gudrun Yngvadottir, Chairperson Lions Clubs International Foundation
LCIF and Special Olympics Serve Special Olympics Athletes Together
Globally, 35 percent of Special Olympics athletes need new prescription glasses and 23 percent have never had an eye exam.
In just over two years, more than 1,000 DCGs—totaling US$3.9 million dollars—have been used by Lions like you to make a significant impact in their communities. And since eligibility is based on contributions to LCIF, your club may already be eligible to apply for a DCG.
I am Dr. Francis Onen Sebabi, a beneficiary of a LCIF’s SightFirst grant. I want to share my story of how the support from LCIF and Lions changed my life.
