Every penny that we make in that operation is donated to various organizations in our area and includes programs for schools. Our club has donated over $100,000 to these organizations, as well as donations to Lions Clubs International for the Sight First program for the blind. Central Park Lions support over thirty community service programs, including large donations to Any Baby Can, St. Peter's Home, St. Joseph's Home, VTO Champions Fore Charity, and other organizations. In addition, the club provides college scholarships.
