Did you know that Lions Clubs International has worked hand in hand with the United Nations since 1945? Lions were present at the UN's founding, helping shape the NGO charter. Since then, Lions and the UN have shared a mission: to create a better world by addressing some of humanity’s most significant challenges.
Through programs like vision care, hunger relief, childhood health initiatives, disaster response, and environmental stewardship, Lions Clubs around the globe support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This partnership reflects our commitment to advancing peace, prosperity, and service on a global scale.
One of the most exciting aspects of this relationship is Lions Day with the United Nations. This annual event brings Lions and Leos together with UN diplomats and global leaders. It’s a celebration of our shared values and an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow our impact.
Dallas Founder Lions Club takes pride in being part of this global network. Since 1916, we’ve been serving our local community while contributing to the worldwide mission of Lions Clubs International. Whether it’s through vision clinics, youth programs, or partnerships with local nonprofits, we believe in making a difference—one project, one person, one community at a time.
