Lions Candy Days
Candy Days is the premiere Lions Clubs fundraiser for the services and programs provided to the hearing and visually impaired in Illinois. This event alone raises much of the needed funds for the Lions of Illinois Foundation (LIF). Through these donations the LIF and local Lions Clubs are able to put into action the Lions motto of "We Serve" to the tune of assisting in excess of 18,000 men, women, and children each year.
Please take the time to stop and donate when you see a Lion distributing candy on these days. Your help is much appreciated.
