Where can you have the opportunity to strike it rich and help people at the same time?

The answer: 

The Lions’ Sight & Sound Sweepstakes, a cash raffle with a first prize of $5,000 and total prize money of $23,050.
The money raised will be used locally or statewide to help those with visual and hearing needs through programs such as Camp Lions for children/adults and free vision/hearing screenings.

Camp Lions Summer Camp offers eligible Illinois residents ages 7 years and older an over-night week of fun, challenging activities and an opportunity to make new friends with peers of similar abilities. Campers will enrich their personal independence & self-confidence through exciting group activities.
