How the funds are used…..
            The proceeds from this event will be used to support a varity of Lions’ Club projects. Lions support worldwide causes such as the tsunami relief efforts and hurricane Katrina Relief. But we also work close to home, providing scholarships for high schools seniors and contributing to funds for local fallen policeman and firemen.

But the major cause for all Lions everywhere is sight preservation.
Lions members consist or 1.3 million men and women in 200 countries and geographic areas. We conduct vision and health screenings, locally and around the world. We provide vision test and eyeglasses locally for children whose family cannot afford them, and locally we support the “Leader Dog” program for the vision impaired.

On a world-wide scale, we are currently engaged in Campaign Sight First II . “Campaign Sight First II” (CSFII) is a Lions, international effort to combat preventable blindness. To date, it has prevented severe vision loss or restored sight to 27 million people – more than the combined populations of New York and Tokyo.
