About us:

The Daybreakers Lions Club of Lake Havasu City was chartered on May 24, 1999 and over the years we have kept the motto "We Serve" at the forefront of all our activities. We do not believe bigger is better and try to keep our membership between twenty and thirty, large enough to "get things done" but small enough to develop true friendships.

What we do:

We encourage our winter visitors, both Lions and potential Lions, to become involved in your adopted community. We have numerous people from the northern states and Canada who meet with us during the winter months. If you are a member of Lions International then YES you can keep coming to meetings. Oh, you are not a member of Lions International? No problem, we can help you become a member of the International Lions Club. You are under 18 years old and want to join? We got you covered there too! We have Leo’s Lions International.

Highschool Scholarships (Knights of Excellence)

Throughout their senior year of high school, the seniors are working hard at finding what college is right for them and what they want to go to college for. However most of them are asking how in the world am I going to pay for college? Do not worry, the Lake Havasu Daybreakers Lions Club along with other local clubs grant a limited number of scholarships. The students have a guideline they must follow in order to apply for the scholarships. Then the Lake Havasu Daybreakers Lions Club go over all the applications. We pick a very limited number of applications. At the “Knight of Excellence” some of us present those winners with all needed information to get their scholarship. This year we have had a few students write us a letter and express their gratitude for our donation to the college of their choice.

Daybreakers Lions Dog Park (Island)

We have worked hard with our local parks and recreation to create a play place for dogs. This is located at the Bridgewater Channel on the Island. Just after you cross over the Famous London Bridge you will see Javelina Cantina & The Heat Hotel. Just by the basketball courts you can find your furry friends' new play place. Not only is it fenced in but there are pools for the dogs, water bowls, shovels and doggie bags available. There are donation boxes within the park no it is not required to pay to play but if you have a few bucks or even change drop it in. That helps us pay for our doggie bags, shovels, pools and bowls. The Park and Recreation team keeps the yard mowed and trees taken care of. So the park may be closed while they are doing the maintenance. Please be patient while they are keeping it clean. Do you have an old shovel, dog bowl, toys, kiddie pool? Bring them down to the dog park and we will use them. Do you see an issue with the dog park that needs our attention?
