LS&TF AWARDS
The highest award that can be purchased is the "Howard Snyder Award". This is presented to Individuals, Corporations, Lions or Lions Clubs that have contributed over $10,000 to the Foundation
In District 2-X1, following two Awards from Lions Sight & Tissue Foundation symbolize highest achievement as true "knights of blind" challenged by Helen Keller in her 1925 speech. The PDG "Pancho" Luna Fellows (Gold & Silver) and/or the William S. Harris Award (with Progressives) are awarded to these "knights".
A contribution to Lions Sight &Tissue Foundation will not only qualify you (need not be Lion) for the prestigious Award but also will help to give the 'gift of sight' to some deserving persons:
PDG F. X. “PANCHO”
LUNA FELLOWS
The “Pancho Luna Fellowship” was established in 2007, to pay tribute to PDG Francisco X “Pancho” Luna. PDG Luna served District 2-X1 for nearly 50 years (including as District Governor in 1975-76) supporting every charity and giving freely of his time and resources. He was most dedicated to the Texas Lions Eye Bank (now Lions Sight & Tissue Foundation) and was instrumental in changing Mexico Laws to help cornea transplant patients and establishing The Eye Bank of Monterrey, Mexico. PDG Luna, who died in 2006, worked untiringly for LS&TF making him synonymous with the work done. For his dedication and Lionistic work in Texas and Mexico, Lion F.X. “Pancho” Luna was inducted into the “Texas Lions Hall of Fame” in 2001.
