Walk for Sight
"We walk so they can see"
Join Us on the final leg of
our Walk for Sight-
September 12-
Edwardsvillle, SIU Campus and
September 19 -
Galesburg, Lake Story Park
The Lions of Illinois invite non-profit groups to join
Lions, Lioness, & leo Clubs to step up to serve those with vision needs and help stop preventable blindness.
The Walk for Sight will come to a conclusion in Southern Illinois, the final leg in a series of six events that have visited the entire length of Illinois.
Here are your final chances to raise funds for not only Lions vision services, but a portion of pledge funds return to every non-profit joining in our Walk for Sight.
