The Palm Coast Lions Club raised $500 with a bowling fundraiser on Feb. 16 at Palm Coast Lanes to support Lions Club International Foundation charities.
This initiative aims to impact humanitarian services and grants and will benefit the missions that help the visually impaired, disaster relief and hunger in our communities, a press release stated.
“We are thrilled to bring fun engagement-based fundraising activities to our community and make a lasting impact,” said Amy Dumas, Palm Coast Lions Club president in the press release. “With the support of our community, we can work towards matching grants for eye surgeries and disaster relief when needed.”
The Palm Coast Lions Club celebrated 51 years of service in November 2024. The club’s local initiatives include cleaning up its adopted road, a section of Old Kings Road North, on Saturdays; working with and awarding two scholarships for Leo Club members at Matanzas and Flagler Palm Coast high schools; conducting vision and diabetes screenings for migrant farm workers in Bunnell and at Palm Coast Community Center; plus many more.
Lions served more than 539 million people worldwide last year. Locally, the club registers its volunteer hours to apply for and receive grants.
“We have reported service hours for feeding the hungry and cleaning tables and picking up trash at the St. Augustine Seafood Festival, where we also earned $1,100 for our club,” the press release said.
