Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community. Roaring Run Lions Club is working in Finksburg and the surronding area.
Over 60 years of Service in the Finksburg Community! Each year we rededicate the Charter of the Roaring Run Lions Club in April.
Check out Roaring Run Community Park baseball fields and Finksburg Baseball spring, summer and fall! Serving over 500 youth learning teamwork, sportsmanship, skills, and baseball, too.
The Lions of Roaring Run and the Finksburg Library hold an annual Easter Egg Hunt called “Eggtravagnza”. The event is so much fun! Children ages 0-9 find eggs that contain candy, stickers and prizes. A good time is had by all and the Lions look forward to this each year.
Roaring Run Lions are dedicated to Preventing and Eliminating Drugs in our Community with multiple events to educate our community and support those in or in need of recovery.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled. The Roaring Run Lions Club was chartered in 1959 and has a long history of service.
Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness. Like many Lions Clubs, Raoring Run collects used eye classes, supports Guide Dog training, and Vision Research through the LVRF.
Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest. Roaring Run supports the local Little League and Boy Scouts. Roaring Run also provides scholarships to deserving students based on need and thier community service.
Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.
Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.
Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
