Fund-Raising Projects
The Blacksburg Host Lions participate in several projects to raise funds for the support of worthy causes in the community and the nation. Every dollar raised in these projects goes to support the Club's service activities.
White-Cane Days:
The 2009 Fall White Cane Days were held three weekends in October

Walk-a-Thon:
The Lions Walk-a-Thon event is held each fall, and features sponsored walkers taking a stroll around a prescribed course on the Virginia Tech campus. Pets are welcome, if on a leash. The proceeds go towards funding training of a Leader Dog for the Blind and other Lions projects. The Virginia Tech Delta Gamma Sorority, and many local businesses combine resources to make the event a safe and fun outdoor experience for all involved.
