About the Lions
We Are Part of the Lions Club International Foundation
The International Association of Lions Clubs was created in 1917 from a dream of Chicagoan Melvin Jones for “business leaders to give something back to their community.” In 1925 the Lions Clubs became “knights of the blind in the crusade against blindness” and assist those people who are blind or visually impaired. The Lions Club has grown to over 46,000 clubs in 193 countries worldwide. Additionally, Lions Clubs have been empowering members to meet our community needs through sight, diabetes screening, feeding the hungry, supporting youth and disaster relief. Read a fact sheet about Lions Clubs, see the latest edition of LQ – Lions Quarterly, read the current edition of Lion Magazine, or view the Lions Clubs International YouTube Channel.
