EYE GLASS COLLECTION:

Wondering what to do with your used eyeglass frames? Don't throw them away!

Donating eyeglass frames is an easy way to help people who can't function normally because they can't see well. Most world blindness is unnecessary. Nearly 700 million people have avoidable blindness or impaired vision that could easily be helped with an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Instead, they have to live with functional blindness — the inability to see well enough to do basic everyday tasks, such as reading, writing, cooking and earning a living.

Cañon City Noon Lions Club collects old eyeglasses, reading glasses and sunglasses. After they are cleaned and repaired, the used frames are then distributed to people who can't afford to buy their own.

We accept both prescription and non-prescription eyewear, in both adult and children sizes.

Donating eyeglasses is easy. All you have to do is drop off your used frames at any of the following locations in Cañon City:

• Blair Vision Care
• City Market (Customer Service)
• Golden Age Senior Center
• Rocky Mountain Eye Center
• Skyline Vision Clinic
• Valley-wide Cañon City
• Walmart

 

21st Annual Knights of the Blind Golf Outing

DATE TBD 

Thank you to our personal and business sponsors to helped ensure our 20th Annual Knights of the Blind Golf Outing is a success. Without your help, we could not continue to raise funds to support our many projects within the community including but not limited to:

2021 NCAA March Madness Raffle:

Noon Lions Club randomly matched each raffle ticket with one of the 68 NCAA Teams. Be sure to follow the bracket starting the weekend of March 18th with the final Championship game on April 5th! 

2021 Super Bowl Football Square:

Noon Lions Club randomly matched each raffle ticket with one of the 100 squares on the Super Bowl Board.  Winners will be determined at the end of each quarter based on the end score. Winners at the end of quarters 1,2, and 3 will be awarded $150 each and the winner at the end of the game will be awarded $500.

Congrats to this years winners and the BIG winner Val Glover pictured below!

 

Foster Kid Christmas Party

Although we were not able to invite Santa for our normal pizza party, we are happy to provide gifts for the children of Fremont County involved in the foster care system. Thank you to everyone who attended out one Christmas Party to raise funds and those who helped shop, wrap and distribute gifts!
