The Kennewick Lions Foundation Annual Spring into Summer Beef & Freezer Raffle was a success, raising money to support our sight and hearing charities. We want to thank A-ONE REFIGERATION & HEATING, INC and 3 RIVERS FINANCIAL GROUP for being major sponsors as well as Master's Appliance, Knutson's Meats, FinishCraft Autobody and Boat Repair, Metz' Mobile Marine, Kennewick Ranch & Home, Yokes Fresh Markets and Budget Print Center for their strong support!!

How Raffle Funds are spent:

100% of funds go to help local people, no club member or employee receives any compensation. Last year we netted over $11000 after paying for some prizes. Of this, $1000 went to the Edith Bishel Center for the Blind in Kennewick, which provides support services and training for sight-impaired individuals. The remainder is budgeted to provide eye exams and glasses, hearing exams and aids, and cataract surgeries. Potentially the amount we raised in last year's raffle will provide up to 67 people with eye exams and glasses, or up to 50 people with hearing exams and aids, or as many as 5 cataract surgeries. The actual number of each depends on how many people with each need apply to the Lions Club for assistance.

The number of people we can serve is based on the fact that we receive matching funds from the NW Lions Foundation to help cover each patient's doctor's fees, so we get maximum "bang" for each buck.

Sight and Hearing programs back on track: Thanks to our recent successful fund raising efforts, the Lions Board was able to restart funding for eye and hearing exams, treatments, glasses and aids for people that need extra assistance to afford them.

Beef & Freezer Raffle: Congratulations to our winners!!
