Lions Clubs International and Special Olympics
Charter a “Champions” Lions Club
Do you want to help empower and build an accepting community for people with intellectual disabilities? Get involved by chartering a “Champions” Lions Club! “Champions” Lions Clubs focus on projects that serve Special Olympics athletes.
Invite a Special Olympics Athlete
If you are already a Lion, consider inviting a Special Olympics athlete to become a member of your Lions club. Provide them with the opportunity to give back and help others in the community.
To learn more, check out the “Champions” Lions Club Brochure and “Champions” Lions Club Guide.
