The above quote from a vision surgery recipient is particularly appropriate when discussing the White Cane campaign since all dollars raised through this initiative are earmarked to fund sight-saving eye surgeries to eligible Georgia recipients.
We are proud and grateful for the Georgia Lions Clubs who fundraise every year to support White Cane mostly through direct solicitations. Last May at the Georgia Lions State Convention, we recognized over 25 Clubs for their participation in the White Cane campaign raising nearly $30,000. In FY21-22, nearly 80% of the total annual funds raised came during the April 1-June 30, 2022 timeframe. Given that Lions Clubs have already raised over $13,000 through the first 8 months of FY22-23, we should exceed last year’s campaign total, however, we want to meet this year's goal of $45,000!
We recognize and appreciate these 9 Lions Clubs and individual donors below for donating to White Cane through March 1, 2023 of FY22-23.
