The Lions are asking the public’s support to Pledge-a-Lion ($ per km) from one of the 4 clubs who are walking in each of their communities on Sunday, August 24 from 9:00 am to Noon. The combined goal is to accomplish walking a total of 232 km the equivalent of the distance Golden to Fort Steele.

The Lions’ goal is to raise $15,000 with the gift directed to East Kootenay Foundation for Health in support of its Ophthalmology Care Fund. Lions International has long been known to support sight programs and services.
