HISTORY OF THE SANFORD LIONS CLUB

The Sanford Lions Club was organized in 1935 with twenty
charter members. Our sponsoring club was the Raleigh Lions
Club. Our Club has sponsored 8 other clubs: Pittsboro (1937);
Apex (1937); Biscoe (1938); Siler City (1938); Aberdeen (1938);
Broadway (1950); Coats (1972) and Western Harnett
(1998). As one of the largest clubs in the State, also sponsor the
LEO clubs at
Lee Senior High (2007) and Southern Lee High (2017).

In 1938, the Club became sponsor of the Lee Regional Fair. After WWII, with vision, the
membership acquired the current property. Today the 23 acres is host for several events
to include the Lee Regional Fair and Relay for Life.

Our motto, WE SERVE, is the slogan for all Lions Clubs throughout the world and our
commitment is to our community. During Fair week, we distribute approximately
$150,000 for prizes, awards, scholarships, labor and purchases.

In additional we also support vision exams in all the county schools, the vision van,
several scholarships, Camp Dogwood, Boys and Girls Home, Helping Hands Clinic,
Sanford Area Soccer League, and the School Backpack Program.
