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 Back Pack
Program.
