The Baguio Everlasting Lions Club, now celebrating its 17th year as a charter club of the Lions Clubs International, is dedicated to continue serving the community and answering needs, particularly of the underprivileged, with the goal of leaving lasting imprints that benefit society as a whole. Aside from focusing on youth empowerment, we are also immersed in medical, optical and eye screening missions, and diabetes screening and diabetes education to the public, as well.
In celebration of World Diabetes Awareness Month this November, the BAGUIO EVERLASTING LIONS CLUB has organized a “LIONS STRIDES – Walk & Run for Diabetes” to be held on November 19, 2011, a Saturday, at the Baguio Burnham Lake.
This event aims to mobilize the community to join in the effort to prevent, control and eventually overcome the risks of diabetes. Free diabetes screening and eye screening will also be conducted after the run. A total of more than 350 participants are expected to join. Proceeds of this event will be used to fun upcoming diabetes programs of the Club.
