The Beaverton Lions Club was organized in 1944. As a part of Lions International, we are a service organization that has eye care as its principal charitable work. For years the Beaverton Lions have provided eye exams and eyeglasses to Gladwin County residents. We support other Lions’ state and national eye care projects and run our local Project Kid Sight, where we take pictures of young children’s eyes and have them analyzed for potential eye problems.
With over 55 members, the Lions Club is Beaverton's only service club organiation. All our fundraising and charitable projects are focused only on Gladwin County residents and our local community. In addition to our eye care projects, we award scholarships to local students, have an Adopt-a-Family for Christmas program, build community park enhancements and sponsor the local Boy Scout troop.
Lions are an international network of 1.3 million men and women in 205 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
