Who Are The Lions?
International Lions Clubs is a philanthropic organization that meets the needs of communities across the world providing support of peoples’ health, social circumstances and other. The 1.4 million members of our volunteer organization in over 200 countries and geographic areas are different in many ways but share a core belief: Community is what we make.
Founded in 1926, the Englewood Lions Club serves our local community by supporting causes concerning diabetes, hunger, and homelessness, from preschoolers getting early eye exams to giving seniors and single moms support at the holidays with food and gifts.
We Serve Our Community
Our club holds fundraisers throughout the year, and we have fun while we help others: From a shred-a-thon to blood drive. Our club is small and flexible enough to meet some of the immediate, unforeseen needs that affect our neighbors. We volunteer for projects such as distributing food in partnership with IFCS (Integrated Family and Community Servicers). We plant flowers in Belleview Park. We paint neighborhood facilities that need a little TLC. We have “phun” with our philanthropy. The make-up of Lions’ Clubs is diverse and includes women and men, people of color, young and old, and LGBTQ – anyone interested in making their corner of the world a safer, healthier, happier place.
The Lions’ Pledge
I pledge allegiance to my country and to the cause of peace throughout the world. I believe in the principles of Lionism as contained in the Lions’ Code of Ethics. I am proud to be a lion, dedicated to the service of others.
