Lions Clubs International is a global organization of 1.4 million members who serve those who have experienced disasters but focus on service in five target causes: vision, environment, diabetes, pediatric cancer, and hunger. The Beaufort Lions Club plans to expand its focus to better address the needs of children diagnosed with diabetes in coordination with Beaufort County School District nurses.
Since July 1, 2023, The Beaufort Lions Club has assisted more than 16,000 Beaufort County residents through more than 150 activities. Members of The Beaufort Lion’s Club have conducted more than 5,000 vision and hearing screenings for preschoolers, as well as public and private school students in Beaufort County; provided eye surgeries and prescription glasses for those without insurance; donated to local food banks; provided warm blankets and puzzle books to cancer patients undergoing infusion treatments; donated school supplies; and volunteered in various needs within the community.
Proceeds from this fundraiser will support both the vision program and the diabetes project.
