“The opportunity I bring to you, Lions is this. To foster and sponsor the work of the American Foundation of the Blind. Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness, no little deaf blind child untaught, no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves “KNIGHTS OF THE BLIND” in this crusade against darkness?”
Lions have accepted her challenge and our work ever since has included sight programs aimed at preventable blindness.
Before there were over 1.4. million Lions around the world, there was one man with a vision. He was a salesman from Chicago, Illinois, USA, named Melvin Jones. Driven by a dynamic personality and a heart filled with kindness, he helped create a service movement over 100 years ago that’s still thriving today.
“All funds raised from the public must be returned to public use.”
