Glen Ellyn Lions win 2011 Glen Ellyn Service Award!

On March 10, 2012, the Glen Ellyn Lions club was recognized at the Community Awards Celebration breakfast, sponsored by the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce and Village Fair Committee.

The Glen Ellyn Lions were named the 2011 Not-For-Profit Organization for their service to the Glen Ellyn community.

We are the Glen Ellyn Lions Club.
We are members of this community - working together to serve the people of Glen Ellyn, Illinois.

Where does the money raised go? How much donated money goes to the Lions club's charitable causes? We give 100 percent!

100% of the profits generated from our projects are donated back to the local community through our Glen Ellyn Lions Foundation and to the Lions Clubs International through the LCIF. We cover all costs from our own dues, ensuring that ALL donated funds go to the many charitable causes we support. Transparency and accountability operate at every level; in fact, The Financial Times has ranked Lions Clubs International Foundation the "best among non-government organizations worldwide with which to work."

Since 1917, Lions clubs have offered people the opportunity to give something back to their communities. From involving members in projects as local as cleaning up an area park or as far-reaching as bringing sight to the world's blind, Lions clubs have always embraced those committed to building a brighter future for their community.

Our programs are continually changing to meet new needs and greater demands, but our mission has never wavered: "We Serve."

We Serve - more than a motto - it's who we are.

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.
