The Cranberry Lions have raised thousands of dollars through collections, events and direct donations. All collected monies are donated to non-profit organizations including Leader Dogs for the Blind and the Butler Blind Association.

Donated eyeglasses are given to the Pittsburgh-based Brother's Brother Foundation

Did you know that your old eyeglasses can change a life? Lions collect prescription glasses, readers, and sunglasses in plastic or metal frames. Children's glasses are especially needed.  Imagine if you could help a child read. An adult succeed at a job. A senior maintain independence. Our recycled eyeglass programs do all of this and more.

The Cranberry Township Area Lions Club is committed to community service and eliminating preventable blindness. Our primary goal is to support sight programs and services including vision screenings, eyeglass recycling, and to provide eye care services to those in need. We hold fundraisers throughout the year, and we give it all to the community and people in need. That's what's special about Lions, and being a Lion.
