Lions of Illinois Foundation Fellows

Lions of Illinois Foundation’s highest level of recognition bestowed is Fellow. The LIF Fellow is presented to any person, Lion or non-Lion, who donates $500 to the Lions of Illinois Endowment Fund.
The Foundation Fellow is a means of showing commitment to the Lions of Illinois Foundation and to its vision of creating a permanent vehicle for the delivery of programs and services to the visually and hearing impaired. It is tangible evidence of a dedication to establishing a lasting legacy.
Most often a LIF Fellow is a way for others to honor a person's dedication to their club, community, Lions District, Lions of Illinois Foundation, and/or Lionism in general. For those who wish to contribute more that $500 or to begin a program of giving, there are 25 levels within the Foundation Fellow with special awards at levels 5, 10, 15, 20, & 25.
