Lions KidSight USA
OUR MISSION
 |
Lions KidSight USA is a nation-wide program bringing Lions clubs across the country together to ensure our children receive eye screenings and follow-up care when needed.
|
|
According to educational experts, 80% of learning is visual. If children can’t see well, they will have more difficulty learning.
1-in-3 young children have poor but correctable vision - often just needing eyeglasses.

Lions Club Calendar Sales
A cash Calendar is a 6-month calendar that is sold for a $10 donation. Money is paid out to the purchaser on each day (from $20 to $400) depending on the day of the month. Only 1000 calendars are sold by the Lake Gaston Lions, and each is designated with a three-digit number. Each night the NC lottery picks a pick three number the purchaser of that numbered calendar will win the money listed for that day. You can win as many times as the number comes up in the 6 months. The funds raised go to fund our Vision Screening Program, where he can support families in need to help the children's eyes.
Calendars are sold 2 months before the start of each 6 month around (Jan 1 and July 1)
