Sweeps tickets will soon be in the hands of any Lion or Lioness on the street.who can give you the chance of a lifetime for $1.00 donation per ticket, or $10 donation for a book of twelve! Top prize is $5,000 cash, with a host of other cash prizes listed on the tickets. Lions/Lioness selling tickets can receive 10% of a winning stub - if they have signed the back. All revenue raised is used to support the projects and services of the LIF and local Lions/Lioness Clubs in our mission to serve those challenged with visual & hearing loss in Illinois.

Addressing the Lions in 1925, Helen Keller challenged them to become "Knights of the Blind in the Crusade against Blindness."
Today, with nearly 600 Clubs in Illinois, we continue to meet that challenge.
LIF 35th Anniversary
The LIF is 35 years strong serving the Lions, Lioness, & Leo Clubs to reach out & help people in Illinois & around the globe. We are proud to direct thirteen programs and services to aid those with vision or hearing loss to find the resources to improve their quality of life.
With your support, the LIF will continue on our mission for many years to come.
Make your plans now to join us May 17th, in Lisle, Illinois at the LIF Annual Breakfast Meeting for the Grand Finale to our 35th year celebration. We will welcome back some faces from the past, listen to the musical talents of former Camp Lions Camper Kari Kinnett, and recognize the Lions & Lioness that are working to build an even brighter tomorrow.
More info will be mailed to every Illinois Club in February!
