The Lions Sight and Tissue
Foundation
A 501c3 Charity of District 2-X1
The Lions Sight & Tissue Foundation (LSTF) assists people by providing vision care services and is an official District 2-X1 charity.
The LSTF can support the Lions Clubs in District 2-X1 by bringing the Neil Roach Mobile Eye Clinic to their community & helping them hold Vision Screenings. By going to http://lstf.org you will find Bus
Schedules for the Neil Mobile, forms & services. There is also information on events & activities here.
There are several ways your club can help support the LSTF & they are as follows:
1. Hold a clinic in your community – When you
are helping your community, then you are getting the Lions Club & LSTF Name out there. People will remember the name of an organization who helped them. The impact of this service on the lives of these children and adults is profound. Without glasses, children are less likely to succeed in school, leading to drop- outs, gang involvement, and potential incarceration. Vision problems are 3 times as likely in Juvenile Detention Centers as in the general population. For adults, having a pair of glasses can mean the difference in getting a job or becoming a drain on society’s resources. The sense of pride in becoming self-sufficient can change their lives.
2. Participate in one of our events or fundraisers:
a) Howard Snyder Golf Tournament (TBD) b) Bowl-a-thon (TBD)
c) Denim & Diamonds Dinner (TBD)
We want to thank all our supporters & Sponsors, especially Pete’s Tire & Automotive for all their continued support & generous maintenance of our Neil Mobile.
