Record Setting Pace for Local Eye Case Assistance from your Beach Lions!
3-6 Local Eye cases per month. The need is great. Contact us to help with your time or donations
MORE THAN $45,000!
The first donation checks were written from the net proceeds of our Shrimp Festival and the awards were impressive.
The Beach Lions also hold in reserve to be awarded or used this year $3,500 for local eyesight and hearing cases and other community needs that arise.
Your Beach Lions Club is taking care of several more eye eye cases this month. He could use another pair of hands- please offer your help. It's very rewarding work.

The Beach Lions will also be announcing the rest of the Lions We Serve Scholarships in the next few weeks. The Lion's Scholarship Fund is a special Project of the Fort Myers Beach Lion's Foundation which was set up in 1993 and has been awarding local scholarships every year since. The Fund receives separate tax deductible donations from the public and is augmented by proceeds from the Fort Myers Beach Lions Shrimp Festival the second weekend in March every year. "Lions are proud of their record of never using any of the funds donated to the Foundation for administration or fund raising." Patsy Dorsey Foundation President noted. "
