Waltham Lions Club
About
The Waltham Lions Club is a service club that raises money in the community, mainly for eye research and the prevention of blindness. Beyond that core cause, it supports local groups and residents in need, and members aim to have fun while serving. The club backs a long list of charities, from scholarships for Waltham High School students to Opportunities for Inclusion, the Waltham Education & Beyond Foundation and the Waltham Boys & Girls Club.
Chartered in 1939, the club carries the Lions motto “To Serve” and is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It belongs to Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service club organization, with more than 1.4 million members in about 46,000 clubs across more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Raising funds and serving the community are the club’s main agenda as a civic organization, and its upcoming events are listed on its club projects page.
