Club Projects

The Fargo Lions participate in many fundraising and community service projects throughout the community, as well as our club meetings and social events.

Fargo Lions - "We Serve."

Fundraising Activities:

Monday Night Football Raffle – For our major fundraiser, members are asked to sell raffle books that cover all 16 Monday Night Football games of the regular NFL season.  Each $20.00 donation to the club grants the donor a book that has a 1 in 100 chance of winning a $50.00 prize for each of the Monday Night Football games in the season.  For those of us familiar with a Super Bowl board you get the idea.  It is a fun and easy fundraiser for the club and participants.

Traffic Control at the Bluestem Amphitheater - The Fargo Lions partners with Jade Presents to assist with the parking and exit traffic for the summer concert series. It's a fun way to raise money for the club and to see a concert in a beautiful outdoor amphitheater.

Find the SignUp Genius link to sign on to work each concert posted in our Member Home section of this website. (You'll need your email adress and website password to access the page.)

We Serve

 

Community Service Projects:

Sight-4-Kids Vision Screening – At the heart of our Lions club mission, members partner with local schools at the start of each school year to provide basic vision screening for students. When finances prevent families from purchasing eye exams or eyeglasses, Fargo Lions will help out. See our Contact page for information on this process.

Vision Assistance Program - Area social service agencies and school nurses refer area individuals in need of financial support in order to obtain eyeglasses. Our partners EyeMart Express and Family HealthCare are crucial partners in keeping this program financially sustainable. Fargo Gateway Lions Club and Horace Lions Club are funding parneters in this important community program.

Eyeglasses Collection - community members donate their used eyeglasses at most optical shops throughout the community, at larger area Hornbachers stores, or at Bergstrom Eye & Laser Clinic at 2601 South University Drive in Fargo. These eyeglasses are sorted and processed forward by the Fargo Lions Club to be used in mission trips throughout the world.

Lions Conservancy Park – Following the flood of 1997, the Fargo Lions partnered with the Fargo Park District, Riverkeepers, NDSU and other groups to sponsor this natural park set in the green space along the Red River of the North.
